Three Day Weekend!

As you know, we don't have any official weekend homework in Room 14, but a three-day weekend like this is a fantastic opportunity to catch up in the Wild Robot!  

Students should have finished Chapter 25 by the end of last week -- that is up to page 62. We will be having a reading comprehension quiz on Wednesday.

At home reading will be assigned for next week, through Chapter 38.

We do read much of the book together in class, but pre-reading helps with comprehension, and allows students to be ready to contribute to class discussions.

At home reading can be done independently, via audio book, or family read-aloud.

Friday

Happy Friday, Room 14 Families!

We had a great day today. Have a fantastic weekend!

Remember: No school on Monday.

Hopefully most of you received invitations to join our Google Classroom, as well as Class Craft.  (There were a couple of emails that bounced back, so I will try to see what I can do about that tonight.)

Homework:
- Read AT LEAST 20 minutes
- Write & Draw: Write a paragraph about this quote from page 24: 

• "As the robot looked out at the island, it never even occurred to her that she might not belong there. As far as Roz knew, she was home."
• What does it mean to be "home"? Can a robot be "home"? What does "home" mean to you? Support your answer with examples from the book, articles, and your own experiences.  + draw a picture

- Adding and subtracting mixed numbers worksheet

Tuesday

Things are really starting to pick up speed, and students in Room 14 now have several projects they are juggling -- in addition to their reading and daily homework.
