READING
1. Continue working in PathBlazer as part of your Learning Path based off of your NWEA scores.
Students must spend 30-45 minutes per day on PathBlazer Reading NWEA activities
READING EXTENSION
Play a Rhyming Game!
This game will allow your child to explore academics by recognizing pattern clues, like rhyming words, as part of a word family. It will also allow them to practice what it means to take turns and how to lose without getting upset. One of the difficulties in the virtual environment is the interactive learning that comes with being face-to-face and “living” a day to day existence with people outside of your home. This game is a great step in learning some of those very important (non-academic) skills.
MATH

Assignment�Go on a nature walk near your home. Can you find animal homes in the grassy lawn, in the town park, or in a tree? Look for ant hills, spiderwebs, birds in the trees, and insects in the grass. Where are their homes?
