Reading
I have recommended some new reading skills to practice on IXL. These are skills we would have learned in reading class.
Don't forget to read your 20 minutes each day. Share what you read on Edmodo. Post a picture of you and your current read on Edmodo this week!!
Listen to the chapters from The War I Finally Won and answer the question about the chapter of the day. We will finish the book by the end of the week!!
Language
Answer the question of the day on Edmodo WRITING with complete sentences and proper mechanics.
Do 5 Minute GRAMMAR on Edmodo. Quiz on Friday!
Math
Do the math review posted on Edmodo each day and take the quiz on Friday. When I post the answers for Monday's review, I have been posting explanations of how to work the problems. They are the same type of problem for the whole week. Make sure to check those out if you don't understand how to do any of the problems.
Last week I recommended doing the measurement exercises on IXL. This week we will do more with measurement. Do the three sets of Boom Cards that have been assigned below. These are fast play links, and you do not have to sign in, but they will expire in two weeks.

Music
For your morning prayers this week sing the refrain of “Hail Mary, Gentle Woman”. Here are the lyrics in case you don’t remember:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen
Gentle Woman, Quiet Light, Morning Star, so strong and bright
Gentle Mother, Peaceful Dove, teach us wisdom, teach us love.
