Day 16 - Monday

Hello, Boys and Girls!  I hope everyone had a very happy Easter!  Since Nathan and Ephraim are teenagers, we had Easter pizza from Papa John's.  They were happy with that.  

Having teenagers is great, but I miss Easter Egg hunts!

This week is virtual spirit week at River Road.  Here is a list of our activities:

One you've drawn your funny picture of Mr. Bush, get a parent to take a picture of it and send it to me, and I'll share it with the class!

Noah's mom asked me this morning what you should be working on every day.  That was a very good question.  I know some of you are having trouble with technology, and that's ok.  These are the things I want you to do if you can:

EVERY DAY (Monday thru Friday)

• Read Mrs. Ellis' blog post every day.  (This counts as part of your 20 minutes).
• Read for 20 minutes every day.  Take an AR test if you can.
• Lexia - 15 minutes every day*
• Reading Wonders - complete 2 assignments every day until you finish each week's assignments.
• Listen to Mrs. Ellis read a chapter every day (link on the right)
• IXL - 15 minutes every day **
• Xtra Math - one lesson per day

(Add these after you pick up your NEW PACKETS);

• One reading comprehension passage per day.
• One math review page per day
• Write a little bit every day.

*If Lexia doesn't work on your device, replace that with either reading an extra book or work in your reading workbook for 15 minutes.

**If IXL doesn't work on your device, replace IXL with either the math workbook or completing a second Xtra math lesson.

Your total time spent on school work should take between 2 - 3 hours each day at the most.  

Our next ZOOM class meeting will be tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7:00 PM.  I hope to see you then!  I'll send your parents the code for the meeting later today.

Have a great day!

Love, Mrs. Ellis
