Activities To Do At Home

With this unexpected break upon us, I'd like to offer some suggestions for things to do while at home.

*Read 20 minutes daily.

*Keep a journal and have students write in it daily. They could write what they did that day, a poem, a story, etc....

*Count money and write amounts in dollars-and-cents notation.

*Visit the "internet links" on the McPolin website. I recommend Spelling City, Everyday Math online, and BrainPop. We will be starting life cycles and plants when we return to school so those would be good options. The quizzes and activities are great, too.

*With not having library for a couple of weeks, you could always check books out from the public library.

Just a few announcements:
-The Cinco de Mayo celebration will be rescheduled for a later date, TBA.
-Please review the math homework from the past week, as we will be having our unit 10 test soon after we return to school.
-The school spelling bee will have to be rescheduled, date TBD.

Please check the district website for the most up-to-date information.

Lastly, please stay healthy and take care of yourselves.
