LA 7 Lesson Plans April 6- 10
Please print this page.
This is our schedule for this week. If the work falls on our block schedule "Live Lesson," then we will be working on that work together on-line. For example, on Monday, we will be reading Freak the Mighty, doing Level 1 & 2 annotations, & the vocabulary section on Study Sync DURING the "Live Lesson."
Since we don't meet on Tuesday, students will answer the Freak the Mighty Think Questions & finish reading The Outsiders chapter 1 as independent work.
On Wednesday, during our Live Lesson, we will review the answers for the Think Questions and begin writing the paragraphs.
IT IS MY HOPE THAT EVERY STUDENT WILL ATTEND THE ASSIGNED LIVE LESSONS. If you have any obstacles to participating in our Live Lessons, please contact Mrs. Bly as soon as possible.
Students, starting tomorrow, Monday, April 6, I will be following our new school-wide block schedule. This means that during "class" times, we will be meeting virtually in a Zoom Live Lesson. I will be emailing a Zoom invite via our secure Aeries email. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SCHOOL EMAIL.
If you do not know how to get into your class session, please email me, even if it's during the actual lesson.
"See" you all soon!
Spring Break
Even though I'm excited it's almost Spring Break, I feel like I just got into a routine with school. If you want to do anything extra during Spring Break to keep a routine, check out the link below for all sorts of ideas.
You may also complete I-Ready lessons at any time.
Finally, don't forget to read your outside reading book! Your book can be from any genre.
There are also FREE audiobooks if you go to stories.audbile.com.
