There is a homework package ready for each student who has been absent this week. Please go to the office any time today or tomorrow between 9:00 – 3:15 to pick it up or have someone else pick it up for you. This package is for students to take home to do during the school closure. This work package includes a new book for students to read, “Who is Malala Yousafzai?“ and a book study package to work on while reading this book. This is a library book, so students will need to return in once the school reopens. The package also includes a Reading, Writing and Vocabulary Workbook and students will also take home their journals to write in daily.
The expectation is that students will continue to work on the class lessons at home. I will post the daily lessons on this blog, so that students know what to do. If you have any questions, please email me. I will be available from 12:00 – 3:00 each school day to answer your questions.
Students should work on the Who are Your Friends? unit today. Here is your assignment:
- Complete the Different Kinds of Friends Vocabulary assignment.
- Read the article, “Different Kinds of Friends.”
- Complete the Comprehension Check and Building Word Families assignment.
- Write a paragraph in your journal about your different kinds of friends, using some of the vocabulary words from the article.
*While the school is closed, I will post a lesson each day on this blog for students to follow. It is important that you check the blog daily and do the lessons so that you will not fall behind. I have given students much more than enough work, in case the schools end up closing for longer than 3 weeks. Follow my instructions and spend about 2 hours each day doing the work that I assign. Once the schools reopen, students will need to bring all the completed work back for me to mark, so it is important that you do the assignments and don’t fall behind. Students will also have to do some tests related to the homework once the school reopens, so make sure you follow the daily lessons and do the work.
