ELA, World History and WW
What's UP this Week! May 18 - May 22
Audible Independent Books! Listen Away...
- Friday we launched our new adventure in Audible Independent Books.
- By now, your child should have already shared their BOOK CHOICE with you and also a tentative plan for reading (we will firm up schedules this week as well)
- Assignments this week will focus on "reading" our Independent Audible Books as well as creating Google Slides to collect details pertaining to each book
- Students will also be participating in "Book Chats" via Zoom
World History
The End of Rome (Kind of)....and the Rise of the Byzantine Empire
- This week in World History we are focusing on how many "splits" developed in the powerful Roman Empire.
- Students will be introduced to the Byzantine Empire and the changes that developed within these powerful cities and within religions.
- Use of EdPuzzle videos (with questions inserted) as well as our World History Text will help us to collect information and create detailed resources.
Field Trip - Woo Hoo!
Writer's Workshop
- We didn't get to travel last week with our busy schedule of presenting, sharing and writing
- This week, students will take a virtual trip to the San Diego zoo and document that experience within their DIGITAL WRITER'S NOTEBOOK.
Don't Hesitate.....Reach out!
Again, I can't explain to you all enough how well your students have risen to this unexpected challenge! They continue to impress me weekly with their positive attitudes, willingness and effort.
In my household.....with my daughters, the "remote learning" has become, at times, a challenge to stay motivated. I believe it's all part of the process, and I continue to encourage them daily (along with my 6th graders) that....WE GOT THIS!
If at any point you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd be happy to support and help in any way I can. This continues to be a new road that we are navigating together and I continue to feel, that our communication is one of the KEYS to your students overall success.
