Hello students!

If you've made it to this PowerPoint, you've made it to this week's activities! Yay! Each

week you will have access to a new literacy PowerPoint. This way, all the LA information you

need for the week comes from one direct spot, here! On slide 3 there is a 'choice board'. We

encourage you to complete at least 5 of the 8 choices each week. Some choices you may need

the computer for, while others you may need a printer, loose-leaf, or partner. We tried to

make a variety of activities as we understand that each household is different, and not built

like a classroom. If you are unable to do activities, THAT IS OKAY! If you have to write down

questions on loose-leaf because you can't print, THAT IS OKAY! Please do not worry, and just

do what you can! As always, your teachers are a call, message or Edmodo away. You can contact

us for assistance any time during office hours from 10:30-3:00 and on Friday, 10:30-11:30. (Or

if you just want to check in and chat!)

Our First Unit of Focus: READING

Reading every day is very important! If you have brothers or sisters who also need the computer, you can always do DEAR (drop everything and read). Another option is to journal. If you don't have a journal yet, this is a perfect time to start this. It is a great place to pour your thoughts and feelings. Or write a letter to someone, even if you don't mail it, just get writing!___________________________________________________________________

Some ideas where to get books:

Lots of free on-line booksSwap with your brother or sisterNeighborhood mini library—Little Free Library (also a great place for you to share your books)Pick up a book with your groceries at Walmart or Costco!

Week 1 Literacy

*Make sure you have a book to read! (Either paper or online!) Let us know if you need help with this.

*In addition to reading every day choose at least 5 boxes to complete each week.

Some squares may have numbers in them which connect to a slide in the PowerPoint.

The slide will hopefully help you set up your activity on white or loose-leaf paper.If you are able to print, we also have some of the worksheets under Literacy Week 1 to download.
