Hi Kids!
Great job on your chapter 4 summaries to me! See below for Wednesday's lesson...
Reading: Listen to the book "Jumanji" (your parents have been emailed the powerpoint with the book). We are going to be comparing this book to another story that we will listen to on Thursday. You can listen to it as many times as you want. On a sheet of paper, draw an illustration that shows the most important part of the story. Make sure to include lots of details in your picture!
Math: Do Day 3 of your math 4-square. Complete 30 minutes of Zearn. Do you have 90 minutes completed for this week? If you are keeping up with your daily work, you should.
Social Studies: Read the remaining articles from your Week 15 Georgia Weekly Studies newspaper. Complete the activities on the back page.
No need to send anything to me today! Have your parents check over your work.

Tuesday, March 24th lesson
Hi Everyone,
If you sent me your summary about Thomas Hooker, I wrote comments to you. If I asked you to add more details, please do that and send those back to me on Tuesday.
Here are your activities for today...
Math: Complete your Day 2 on your math 4-square. Keep in your folder, we will check it all on Friday during our Zoom meeting. Complete a FULL 30 minutes on Zearn. We will also talk about your progress with Zearn at our meeting on Friday. I want to see everyone up to at least an hour and a half before we talk on Friday.
Reading: Reread chapter 4 and write a paragraph about the chapter. Include how the characters have changed since the start of the book. What has caused the characters to change? Have they learned anything new? What words would you use to describe the characters in your book (brave, caring, intelligent, mischievous, bold)? What have the characters done in the book to make you choose those words to describe them?
Grammar: Number a piece of paper from 1-4, skipping lines in between. Get your book club book. Look for two examples of dialogue where the speech tag comes first (example...Billy said, "I love to take long walks with my dog.") Copy them onto your paper, making sure to get all the punctuation done correctly. Then look for two examples of dialogue where the speech tag comes last (example..."I want to go to the store with you too, Mom," said Annie. ) Look at the punctuation differences and compare the two types of dialogue. No need to send me anything here.

Friday, March 19 lesson
Hi Everyone!
Wow!!! I am so proud of the chapter three summaries I read! Now that is what I like to see. Thank you for your hard work on those and let's make sure to write like that every time I give you an assignment. If you didn't submit the summary to me yet, try to get to that this weekend and get it in to me.
I am going to be doing a ZOOM session with you next week. I will send your parents all the information you will need to do this with me. Basically, this is a program that will allow us to video chat with each other. I'm so excited to talk with all of you soon!
Here are the activities for Friday...
Reading: Complete two Read Theory passages and quizzes (I need to see you getting 100% on these!) I will check to see your scores, so please read carefully, look back in the passage to prove your answers, and read the questions very carefully.
Math: Work for 30 minutes on Zearn.
Writing: Write me a letter telling me about your week. Make sure to follow my example below! I want to see a greeting (Dear Mrs. Wadsworth), a complete and well-written paragraph with lots of details all about your week, and a closing (Sincerely, Your Name). *Submit this to me in Office 365 or by email
Dear Class,
I have missed all of you so much! I hope you are getting used to our new digital learning. I like learning new things, so this has been interesting to me. But I have to admit, I think I prefer coming to school and teaching you every day. I miss our classroom and I miss you guys.
You know who really likes me being home all day? SCRATCH! He gets extra frisbee time with me and he loves the extra walks I have been taking him on during the day. I'll send you guys a picture of him in SeeSaw, so be on the lookout for that.
We will see each other soon, I'm sure. I am excited to learn how to use ZOOM. I am going to practice with this program this weekend so we can begin video chatting next week. I think we will all feel better if we can see each other and talk. Since we can't do this in person, this is the next best thing.
Hang in there, keep working hard, and keep checking back here for updates every day!
Love,
Mrs. Wadsworth

Thursday, March 19 Lesson
Hi Students,
Okay, we need to have a chat. I need all of you to look at the work that you are submitting to me before you send it and ask yourself if it looks like third grade work. I know that this type of learning is really different and it's hard to think of what you are doing at home to be just like what we do together at school. But this is very important. If I ask you to write a summary about a chapter in your book, I am expecting at least eight to ten sentences with LOTS and LOTS of details. I should know exactly what your book is about without having to read the chapter myself. Also, you are responsible for correct capitalization and punctuation when you submit work to me. I am getting work that is not what I expect from third graders. Check the comments I have sent back to you on your work. I need many of you to correct, redo, and resubmit your work.
I am going to give just a few assignments for today, but I want this to be YOUR ABSOLUTE best work and I would like everyone to submit your work to me. You can do this work in a word document and just email it to me if you are having trouble with Office 365. If you are having success with Office 365, continue to submit your work that way.
Reading: Read chapter three in your book club book. If you read it yesterday, read it again. Now, type or write a summary of what is happening in this chapter. I have emailed your parents an example of what I am expecting in a summary. Please have a parent check your work before you submit this to me. Also, make sure you are using correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling in your work. Submit Work
Math: Do Day 4 of your math four-square. Have a parent check your work. Continue to work on your Zearn lessons for 30 minutes. I am checking this daily. Please make sure you are staying in the program for a full 30 minutes every day!
