Macek's Memo
August 28, 2020
Weekly Report
The programs Xtra math and eSpark are used for individual progress. Please have your child get onto these if I post them on the assignments for the day.
We are changing our afternoon Google Meet time to 1:20 from now on. Please be sure to have your child join these meets on their day. Miss Mendoza, Miss Betustak, and I are on these meets and enjoy seeing the kids and reading or completing some math.
Please remind your child to submit their work one time. After it is graded, kids are turning it back in. It can them show up as if the due date/time passes and they are doing this. Thank you for your help with this.
Also, thank you for your patience. I know things don't always run the smoothest. Currently I am on a live chat with Scholastic News because it was working and now it's not. I get frustrated too.
Reading---Our story this week is Scaredy Squirrel. Its genre is fantasy. The skills we are working on are making inferences, point of view, and text and graphic features. We will take our weekly story quiz and the skills test on Friday on hmh.
Math--Topic 1 will continue next week.
Spelling--The words focus on long a and long e sounds. Remember, there is a test on Spelling City on Fridays.
Social Studies--We will continue working in our Scholastic News magazine. Science--We will continue with Mystery Science. We try to get to both of these at least two times a week.
English--We will be on Week 3 of DLR. This week we will have a few writing assignments too. Please continue to send in the photos of the completed work. We will only grade one day next week though.
