ELA: Students should be reading 30 or more minutes every day! This is the most important work they can do while they are at home. Writing will be the focus this week! Students will have access to multiple online poetry writing lessons and interactive writing tools. We encourage them to try to write a poem each day and learn about new types of poetry.

Math
We have 3 videos with Google Forms again this week. We are sticking to Unit 5: Arithmetic in Base 10 and review Multiplying and Dividing decimals and then a big review of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals using the order of operations.
Don't forget to check your Google Classroom everyday! If you want notifications on when videos are posted, you can subscribe to Ms. Grant's YouTube Channel! https://bit.ly/2VbY8rQ

Each week, your student will have a new project to complete. The projects cover standards taught throughout the year. This week, your student will work on understanding why we have seasons.

Social Studies
Continue with the Review and Enrichment choice activities. Slides 2-7 are for review and slides 8-11 are for enrichment. Enrichment suggestions can be done with various historical topics and people of the student’s choice. Review work should be attempted if a student has a 1 or 2 on a topic to “level up” on the standard or just because the student wants to explore beyond what was taught in class. Students should communicate what they are working on with their teacher via Google Classroom private comment or an email. Students should cite their research sources and make sure they either summarize what they learned or paraphrase the author’s information so they don’t get in the habit of plagiarizing others' work.
