Good morning, Temescalians!

Towards the end of our morning session yesterday, we had some technical difficulties. You can check out the recording on our Recorded Lessons page.

Announcements this week:

Here’s our joke/riddle of the day!

A tricky math problem courtesy of J! Pay special attention to the language and picture!
A view of all the characters in this riddle
The riddle comes from Richard Scarrys Best Story Book Ever

A few things to keep in mind while working:
– If you are working with Katherine, do her assignments first.
– Put on a timer for the time indicated for that subject. Once that timer dings, move on to the next work!
– Take body breaks! Try out GoNoodle!
– We’d love for you to share what you are up to! Let us know of any links/resources that you find interesting, and we’ll add it to our list of things! Also, email us pictures of what you’re up to, and a caption, and we’ll create a gallery of these pictures to post on Friday. (You’ll have to share the pictures by Thursday for them to be included on the Friday gallery!)
– Please let us know if there is too much or too little work and if something is challenging for you. We want you all to be successful in Distance Learning, and we’re here to help!

Things that are due by Friday. (Please take a picture of all of these assignments and email them all at once to Jackie and me):

  • Pg. 87-88 “Multiplication & Division Review”
  • Book group questions emailed to Jackie or Lisa
  • Sort #9 Spell Check (There should be 15 words that you are getting checked on: Any 10 words from Sort #9 + 5 sight words.)

    • Example of what a spell check should look like. Please do the spell check in pencil and correct in pen!
