To Start Off with, the Vocabulary Page has been updated with this week’s words

Please feel free to try the games and activities to practice your vocabulary. But todays work is to start your final draft of your Writing (Inventions) that is due on Friday.

I have also edited the Weekly report format again, (Sorry) Due to some students having technical difficulties, I have made the digital work equal to the Non-Digital. So reading a Raz-Kids Book to me (Through Recording) Now has the same value as Reading our Passages. What this means is If you are unable to get into Raz-Kids, please let me know, then read to me something short from your home library, and I will mark you as having recorded, and give you the appropriate number of starts on the program as well.

Most of the Education.com work this week is online lessons for reviewing the grammar we have done already, and as such, I will only be grading the games. The online lessons are good for your review though, so don’t skip them. If you cannot get into Education.com, through the website, or  the APP (It has been strange lately) Let me know, and I will send you a worksheet to review the same material.

Tuesday, March 10th

Today we will be reading about the zipper, a wonderful invention. Please read the story from the file below, then read it to me on Wechat. If you are shy bout the rest of the class hearing you, then you can send it to me directly.

Listen to the story on the video

After you have done that, please review your Subject Verb Agreement. from the same file. This is also reviewed in your Education.com work
