Today's Drawing Instructions
Hi there! Thanks to all of you who were able to attend our Google Meet session today. As there were a number of people who weren't able to complete or hear the drawing instructions, I will type them up below. If anyone wants to take a picture of their finished drawing and you can include it with your At Home Learning activities for the week, that would be fun to see! I will also take a picture of my finished drawing and share it on the Pictures page this weekend!
Here goes the instructions:
1) Put your page landscape style.
2) Draw a big circle in the middle, not touching the edges of the page.
3) Draw a triangle on either the right of left side of the triangle and have the point facing out.
4) Draw a smaller circle inside the other circle near the top middle part of it.
5) Draw a large oval shape below the big circle, just touching the bottom of the circle.
6) Draw 2 tiny stick feet below the oval.
7) Draw 3 horizontal W's on the inside and right side of the oval.
8) Draw a line across the oval from one side of the page to the other, but not through the oval.
9) Draw an arc at the bottom of the big circle towards the middle that is on the same side as the triangle you drew.
10) Draw three uppercase M's in the top space of the page, not touching each other.

Next week's Google Meet session is on Monday, June 8th at 10:00 am.
We are going to play: WOULD-YOU-RATHER!
Before next Monday, you need to come up with 1 or 2 "would-you-rather" questions (examples below). You will have a chance to ask a classmate your question. They have to answer the question, and provide 1 or 2 reasons why they chose that answer.
Example "would-you-rather" questions:
-Would you rather shovel snow for an hour, or rake leaves for an hour?
-Would you rather be the tallest person in the world, or the shortest person in the world?
-Would you rather be able to be invisible, or able to fly?
-Would you rather kiss a frog or hug a porcupine?
Also, please bring a blank piece of paper, a pencil and some pencil crayons or crayons with you for the Google Meet session. Thanks!

For Parents:
Usually as students end their school year, teachers are able to do 1-1 reading assessments to best determine where to begin for the following year. Since we unfortunately are not able to meet and read with each of our students we are asking for you to follow the detailed instructions below and complete the assigned reading task. Your child will record themselves reading INDEPENDENTLY and the results will be shared with the teacher.
Teachers will use this information to help your child transition into the next grade and provide next year’s teacher with a great starting point.
If you are unable to complete this task due to computer difficulties please contact your child's teacher.
Please note that the task will take about 15 minutes and can only be done once and then will disappear from your child’s reading folder. Thank you for helping us set your child up for success next year.
