Dear Family,
Dear Family,
READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY, PLEASE!
I’m not sending work for March
19 and 20. Consider it an early spring break! This work below is for March
30-April 3. This is unchartered territory for us so here we go!!
It’s
important we stay connected. I will use our Remind texting account to give
information. No one sees your responses but me. You can access this letter from
the Lakeside website lakesidechiefs.net. Go to About, then Faculty and Staff,
then Suzann Tibbs, then Teacher Blog.
I’m not
assigning by the day of the week. I’ll let you determine what is done when. All
work should be completed by Sunday, April 5 and saved to return to school when
this crisis is over. Please don’t work ahead in the reading workbook!
Reading, Spelling, and English:
Open Court Unit 5, Lesson 3, How Congress Works (username
and passwords are in binders)
Notice in Open Court’s Skill Practice workbook, the
number of the unit and lesson are at the bottom of the page. This week the
assignments are pages 107 to 120. Use the following link to listen to the
story. Students should read the story several times. They will write sentences
with the vocabulary words. Another day, write sentences with spelling words.
You will administer a spelling test Friday if you wish. Extra activities are
writing antonyms (opposites) and synonyms (the same) for our words.
Social Studies:
Liberty’s Legacy A Nation of Immigrants is the
lesson this week. Go to the website below and watch the videos. Complete pages
11-12 as well as page 25 (vocabulary) in the workbook.
Math:
Saxon lessons 99 thru 102 are in this packet. Notice
Lesson 100 is over two days (100-1 and 100-2). If it says assessment at the top
right corner, it is to be done totally alone. Ideas: Use the plastic folder and
dry erase pen to practice math. Put Saxon papers inside (if you do this, make sure they write the answers on the actual paper when done as it must be returned to school) or create math problems
on paper, slip in the folder, they answer, erase and begin again!
Multiplication facts need to be memorized. You can work on them all. There are
too many free apps to list. We MUST memorize multiplication facts before we
enter 4th grade.
Handwriting:
Your child may complete one page a day.
Journal:
Students write the date and write in their journal every
day. Give them a topic (examples: what if I were home schooled, favorite book,
what I would do with a million dollars, etc.).
AR:
EXTRA WORK:
Your child may complete reading workbook pages prior to
page 107. DO NOT WORK BEYOND PAGE 120!!
There are three pages included our binders that have fun,
random activities to do. You may devise a way to select which ones.
Practice measuring with rulers, yardsticks, cups,
teaspoons, etc.
Let them write letters to grandparents, aunts, uncles.
We’ve learned the parts of a letter and how to address an envelope. Great
practical application of knowledge!
If you find a good app, share with me and I’ll pass
along. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. This, too, shall pass. Miss Suzann 334.695.3764
