Good Morning Boys and Girls,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I wonder if anyone enjoyed the snow?

Don’t forget to check your email for some additional home learning suggestions!

Reading

Read at least 15 minutes each day.

Has anyone tried face timing a relative that you haven’t been able to visit because of COVID 19 or called them on the phone? Why not practice reading a book until you can read it without difficulty and read it via face time/ phone to someone special? I bet they would love this! An adult could video you reading the book and you could send the video too.

I emailed you a link to another reading site. Enjoy!

Word Work

Continue to review your sight words. Concentrate on the ones that you do not recognize or can write correctly.

‘More Than One.’ Notes and exercise is in your email.

Tip: Try to use some wow words in your story.

Ex: fantastic, wonderful, fabulous, exciting, awesome, delighted, ecstatic, pleased, marched, staggered, miserable, gloomy, furious, annoyed, exclaimed, declared…

Tip: Remember to be looking and listening for ‘wow’ words in your daily interactions.

I am also sending the following as a different type of writing you may like to do this week instead of the first suggestion:
