***THIS IS WHERE I WILL BE POSTING ASSIGNMENTS BEGINNING: Tuesday, April 7
I mailed an envelope to your child which they may have received today (if not tomorrow). Inside are the pieces needed to put together an Easter project that I usually do with the students. I posted the directions in a video on this page and sent an email with the written directions. Enjoy and have a blessed Easter with your family. I am terribly sad to not be attending and singing with the choir for all the Easter services, but I will participate via the Corpus Christi church site. I am forever grateful for the blessings I continuously receive by being a part of the Corpus Christi community and a teacher for your precious child. God bless.
Thanks for sending me copies of your student's work so I can see how they are doing with the work assigned. I am trying to be cognizant of the fact that your lives are turned upside down the same as mine, and I don't want to overburden you with homework. I know some of you are still going to work, some of you have more than one student trying to complete homework, or you have very young children at home as well. If at any time the assigned work is too much for your student/situation please contact me so we can work out a doable schedule. If you think your student needs more work please let me know what area you think they need more of and I will certainly try to accommodate that as well.
Beginning Sunday evening I will send the reading assignments for the week. I will include spelling lists on Monday as well, rather than Wednesday as I did 'pre-corona'. I will let you decide what day of the week to test your student on their spelling words, and then let me know how they did.
READING:
Part of our Reading/Daily 5 program is our Journeys text book. To activate this online you will Google search thinkcentralk6 and fill in the login: (select from pull-down lists) Country, State, District: Archdiocese KC Ed Office, KC 66109, School: CC Elementary Lawrence, Username: __________ and Password: _________ . I will send you an email with your student's username and password. When you get to your students page click on My Library then under Things to Do click Reading . From here you will find (among many) a yellow icon for Student eBook and Journeys Reader's Notebook G1 2017. When you click on the eBook you will come to a page with Book 1 - 6; click on Book 5.
*The assignment for this week is to choose a book you have read a write a little about the book: what is it about, what did you learn, what did you like/not like about it, whatever you would like to share about the book.
*The Readers Notebook pages for this week: none :-)
Another part of our Reading/Daily 5 program is Raz-Kids. The students know this site well. They will read a book and then answer the quiz questions about what they have read. Go to www.kidsa-z.com and enter my username, krathbun1. Then they click on their icon (first name, last initial) and enter the password which is 1234. Please make sure your student is on their correct icon before continuing. I have preset levels in the Leveled Books in their Reading Room (the highlighted levels are appropriate for their reading level). PLEASE have your child READ each book. If the headphone icon is selected the book will be read aloud as they read along, but I want them to read without hearing the audio. When they have finished reading a selection they will click on the ? icon to answer 5 questions about the book. Once they have answered the questions correctly they can go on to the next book. I would ask that they read and test two books each week not day!! (oops). I will be able to see their progress, so if they are struggling at a level I will be able to make adjustments.
