Students should go to Math and the Assignment can always be found in “Things To Do”.  All assignments will be found here for math if they don’t automatically show up. You must login directly to Thinkcentral website to take the test- there is no way to link it to our Google Classroom. Thank you!

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!! 

Thursday 3/26-

Reading-
Students will practice asking and answering questions about key details in a story. Please have the kids read “What Am I?” on pg. 14 out loud to you. Read and answer only questions 1 and 2 on page 15. 

Then you can read “A Prickly Adventure” on pages 18 & 19. You should have them read to you and help when necessary or take turns reading every other paragraph. They need to keep those reading skills sharp! Have them answer questions on pages 20 & 21 when you finish the story. Don’t forget to encourage writing in complete sentences and looking back to the text for your answers!

Math- 
So far in math, since we have been home, we have been working on the same topic. We have had a lot of practice with subtracting three digit numbers. This was something we were working on in class and I know you were getting good at it!

Today we will be learning something new so I am attaching two videos for you to watch. Please be sure to watch the videos! Don’t skip to the pages until you learn how to do today’s math. 

Even when I have my class in front of me, every year I say the same thing. This is TOUGH!! Some kids will get it and some will not. I just want you to TRY YOUR BEST and practice when you can. 

AFTER watching the two videos from the links below, please complete pages 445 - 447. The videos are actually more difficult than the pages. You’ll see :-) You will be ready to complete this math in no time if you can follow the video!

(These videos can be accessed in Google Classroom as well as here on the homework page.)

Practice the responses for mass with a parent. I know that you are unable to attend church, but reading the responses will help us get ready for when we are able to go back.
