Also, due to potential security issues, I decided that it is wiser to host weekly "Flipgrid Fridays" (instead of zoom meetings). Flipgrid will be a place where students can share their work and celebrate personal growth!
Our first Flipgrid Friday will be May 1st. I will send out more information soon.

Greetings families,
If you have not done so, please please please sign up for remind. Here is the link: www.remind.com/join/4dc73k You may miss out on valuable language arts and social studies information if you do not. It is also an excellent way for teachers, students, and parents to communicate. Sorry I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my google form,
I noticed that you all did a wonderful job with filling out comments below, so let's do the survey this way. Would you like to do a weekly zoom meeting or a weekly flip grid? Both are good ways to communicate. Arguably flip grid is more secure for students, but I can understand the importance of a face-to-face conversation. Before starting the recommended routine, please sign up for a flocabulary social studies class (different from language arts).
To sign up: Have students visit www.flocabulary.com/join-class and enter the class code. Class Code: G2WN66 Activity 1 (15 min): Read Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief Here is a free link to the entire series: getfreestorybooks.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/7/7/107718885/riordan_rick-percy_jackson-_the_complete_series.pdf Activity 2 (20 min): Work on a flocabulary.com Ancient History mini-lessons (join class above) Activity 3 (25 min): Work on one of the nearpod modules below Exploring Ancient Empires: share.nearpod.com/Qfek7p5Dc5 Ancient Egypt: share.nearpod.com/lySTkbcEc5 Ancient Greece: share.nearpod.com/4YhZ0h8Dc5 Ancient China: share.nearpod.com/NTl7gegEc5 Ancient Inca: share.nearpod.com/OkTAJOiEc5 Before starting the recommended daily routine below
-I suggest that your scholar signs up for and completes another diagnostic pre-test on noredink.com. It's very long, but can show you what your scholar has and hasn't mastered (so you can spend your time wisely).
