Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Great work yesterday! I loved seeing all of my sweet students’ faces and hearing their voices on Seesaw. Such fun! Everyone is doing an excellent job, parents included :)! Have a great Tuesday and please let me know if you need anything from me. I’m here!

Math:

1. Go to Seesaw and Complete the Activity titled: “2D Shapes: Let’s Count Sides & Vertices 3/17”
2. Go onto Moby Max to complete the assigned activities about Shapes. Your child doesn’t have to do them all in one day. Please see my Online Learning email for directions on how to sign in if your child has forgotten. Please mention to your child that we have 2 contests going on in Moby Max. One is a Class party contest, and the other is a student contest where the students with the most time dedicated will earn a prize/reward. This will be sure to motivate them!
3.  Practice your addition and subtraction facts each day. You can do this with Moby Max Fact Fluency, flashcards, or an app/game. Try to do this for 5-10 minutes each day. Fact fluency is SO important!

Reading:

1.  Go to Seesaw and complete the activity: “Reading: Text vs. Pictures 3/17”
2.  Read for 30 minutes. Remember to set a timer and read aloud to someone, if possible.
