READING
Reading and applying the literary skills we learn in class is imperative in becoming better readers. With this in mind, I still require every child to read 20 minutes every night. After reading, please have your child respond to the questions on the homework document in google classroom. To do this, you will go to classroom.google.com. Their login is their first name.lastname@qackids.org. Their password is their computer password followed by rams. (Your child knows this password because they use it everyday). Remember to fill out the library Google Doc on the home page (You’ve been amazing at this!) and record how many minutes you read for the week. Please make sure your child clicks the TURN IN tab on the top right hand corner at the end of the week so they get credit for their work. Please continue to read every night for at least 20 minutes. I will also be asking for volunteers 3 times a week to give a book talk on what they’ve been reading.
If you are having trouble typing your child’s questions in the document, feel free to have them write out the answers to the questions on a piece of paper and turn it in on Friday. GOOGLE CLASSROOM DOES NOT WORK WELL IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
You DO NOT have to fill out the reading and sort log anymore! I will give credit for reading for the week from the google classroom document being filled out. Thanks for being flexible! I always tell the kids…Blessed are the flexible because they will never be bent out of shape:)
Monday:
Write a sentence about a character and his or her traits from the book you are reading.
Tuesday:
Write 2 sentences about the plot in the book you are reading. Remember that the plot is what is happening in a story.
Wednesday:
Spelling Connection. After reading, find 5 to 10 words that have the spelling pattern we are studying this this week. (We are studying the ai and ay vowel patterns).
Thursday:
Write a sequence of events that happened in your book using transition words. For example, the first pig built his house from straw. Then, the second pig built his house with sticks. Next, the third pig built his house from brick. A wolf then came and blew the first two house over. Finally, the wolf couldn’t blow the brick house down.Spelling:
You are not required to sort the spelling words. This week we will be working on the ai and ay vowel sounds. Here are the words for the week: 2-2 Sheet1
