Idiom of the Day:

Hello Students!

Thank you to those students who have been joining my daily meetings and emailing me your assignments.

We will have a short class meeting today at 1:00. I have emailed you the link. Please write down any questions you have so that you can ask me them at the meeting.

Our next class meeting will be on Friday at 1:00. There is no meeting tomorrow, but if you need to speak to me or ask me a question, I will be in my meeting tomorrow from 12:00 – 1:00. Just click on the same link that you used for today’s meeting to join me tomorrow if you want to talk to me.

Today’s Lesson:

Today in our class meeting, we read Ch. 2 of Who is Malala? I explained the meaning of some of the vocabulary words in this chapter and assigned a new assignment that is due next week. Students should re-read Ch. 2 by themselves several times. Then write either a Retell, Relate or Reflect paragraph about Ch. 2. Make sure to use at least one of the Ch. 2 vocabulary words in your paragraph. Once you have edited it and corrected all your mistakes, please email it to me. If possible, please type the paragraph on your computer. If not, just send me a picture of your writing. This paragraph is not due until next week.

Some students still need to work on completing the Who is Malala? Ch. 1 assignment. This assignment is due this Friday, April 17.

Here is the Retell, Relate, Reflect instructions for the Ch. 1 assignment. You need to choose to either retell or relate or reflect on Ch. 1.:

Retell, Relate, Reflect about Ch. 1

Students also need to complete the Reading, Writing & Vocabulary assignment – Lesson 2 by this Friday, April 17. Here is the assignment if you don’t have it.:

Students who are finished all of the above assignments can work on the extra practice booklets that were given to you in March before the school closed.
