Monday, May 18th Lesson Outline

The Digital Classroom for your browsing. Links to books for you and lessons, as well as student art!

LANGUAGE (1-1.5 hours):

Week 11 of Reading Comprehension posted - Do Day 1! Watch this video for a review about the Author's purpose! You've been learning about this for many years, you might just not know it as the "author's purpose!"

Read for at least 20 minutes via Raz Kids, Epic, or their choice of book - Remember, we need 9000 minutes as a class for our reading party!

New Words Their Way words and assignments are posted! Remember to watch the videos attached to your lesson!

Wonder Novel Study - We had been reading Wonder before we got locked down. You can continue reading it by clicking on the Wonder book in the digital classroom above. It will read it aloud to you. You can also turn on the closed captions so you can see the words or translate if you need to! See below! We had read to about 1:33:10 of the recording if you want to skip to where we were.

You do not need to listen to it all now! Listen for 15-20 minutes here or there to try to get through it before we watch the movie in June!

1. The great thing about this audio version is students can turn on “CC” or closed captioning to have the words show up on the screen as well (which also helps with reading comprehension/fluency). 

2. For students who are ESL, they can have it read in English but have Mandarin or Korean translation closed captioning to help them understand. 

1. Hover over the bottom of the Youtube screen and click the “CC” button to toggle on. 

2. Click the settings button (looks like a gear). 

3. Click on auto-translate and click your chosen language to turn it on. 

Blog Upgrade

Heya team! I've been having some issues with the Blog not allowing me to add some things in without freezing and having issues. I think I have fixed it, but it means that it won't show all of our previous posts on this main page.

If you need to get to any of the older posts, please look along the side to the right under the "Archive" heading. From there you can click to any of the old posts that you may need to revisit!

Ah.. technology... 

Missed Xtra Math Masters

I don't know what has happened lately... maybe so many of you have been passing levels that XtraMath has glitched out and it stopped notifying me of people who had passed!

If I missed you along the way, please let me know! I went back and checked today because Norocos told me he passed last week and I never got any notification. In doing so, I found that Sophia and Maranelo also passed levels and I missed them. Is there more? Let me know if I missed congratulating you!

So.. a huge belated congratulations to both Sophia and Maranelo who are now subtraction masters!



And for Norocos.. our newest Multiplication master! Wow!
