I was all geared up to see the kiddos this week. We were going to start adding and subtracting fractions, read new stories, learn more states and capitals, and finish researching and writing our Fish papers for the contest in art. Oh well, I guess we will wait a week.
I do not have any “work “ to give students this week, but I suggest spending some time on IReady math. Many students are getting closer and/or surpassing grade level topics on their IReady pathways. This is what we want and this is something they can do this week. I encourage them to read and do IReady this week!
Stay safe and healthy !
Here are some links for videos to help explain corona virus, the importance of washing our hands to children, and a couple of activities. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Students will be involved in a wide variety of club type activities during Tiger U. Supplies can be dropped off at school with Mrs. Baker’s or Mrs.Miller’s names on them.
