Class activities for Friday, September 13
Spelling: None on Fridays.
You can find our yearly 500 word list here. Words will be selected from this list for each test. Students will not know which words will be tested. Find out more on our spelling page.
Cursive: We’ll start cursive soon.
Reading: Today we practiced reading using MobyMax. Your student can practice MobyMax from home. Have them show you what they are working on!
Writing: We talked about finding a focus for a story by writing about only the best part and the best time. A focused piece of writing is easier to write and easier to read, because the ideas match each other. Our first writing piece, a personal narrative, is due Friday, September 20. The personal narrative should be written about a memory or true event in each student’s life. Your student is using MrHowd.com Google Docs to write the story. They can work from home; have them show you what they’ve got so far.
Math: We used Khan Academy to practice math today. This is another practice website that students can work on from home to improve their math skills.
Science: None today.
Social Studies: None today due to art.
