Students will look at the question and write for 3-5 minutes on answering the question. Tell the students to use their imagination and answer it the best that they can. Then have the student share with you what they think the answer is. Watch the video and read the passage. Have them write down at least 3 things they have learned after listening or reading the answer to the question. If you have siblings at home with you, share your writing with them. This would be a great opportunity to try out the “Try it Out” activities at the end of the reading passage. Please choose one daily or one of the writing prompts.

Class Meetings:
Both classes are planning to meet with Zoom on Fridays. Mrs. Hugill and Ms. Mottern's class will meet at 2:15, and Mrs. Blick's will meet at 11:00 am.
Logging on to Istation:
We just found out some interesting information about Istation. If you are trying to get on using a home computer or tablet, you need to download the app first. Go to istation.com. At the top of the page, there is a button that says 'download and technical into'. It tells you how to download it on any system. If you haven't been able to use it, this might be why.
Remember to use Clever!
The students will be accessing all their password-protected apps through Clever. Their Clever login is the same login they use to login to their Chromebooks. If you checked out a Chromebook, it's most likely not theirs. When they turn it on they will need to add a user. From there, they will use their normal Chromebook Login, if they don't know it, please reach out to their teacher.
