Ms. Reed's class review/questions answered video

Parents, please read the Dojo note from Friday, April 17

Please read all posts.  I communicate regularly as information arises. Additionally, I keep you alerted to technological challenges with the district or other applications, which are in process as the district continues to steady the issues.  The administration and those in the district are well aware of the these challenges.  I understand the frustrations.  We join you in your frustrations-the entire world joins in the frustrations! Some of you have been aware of the issues with Dojo throughout the year with translation issues and sending/receiving messages.  If you prefer, I will use the blog as the selected mode of communication, which is a Google site.  I have kept Dojo because I understand that this year's group of parents favor Dojo. I do not mind either way.  If you have missed information, please scroll through Class Stories and School Stories posted from the school.  Some people were not aware of the school closures for the year nor the cancellation of the FSA as a result.  Keep connected, be encouraged-we are all here together helping each other. As I've said, I wish I could treat all of you to a pizza and have the opportunity to discuss our frustrations and discoveries and just the world events in general.  I appreciate your feedback and thank you for continuing to work closely for the benefit of your child.  It has been a privilege to work with you and your children.  Thank you for all of your support during this time and throughout the year.  I am grateful.

Remember, we are beginning Unit 5, Week 4 from last week moved to this week.

See previous posting below. If the Story for Delores Huerta does not show up-like all along lol-type the title or unit 5, week 4 in the search lens or click on the unit on the top left of the page. and change to unit 5, then click the week and change to week 4, which brings you everything.

We are back to prefixes and suffixes! I trust by now you are noticing the importance of understanding base/root words and how they change when prefixes and suffixes (affixes) are added.

Thank you to everyone who has sent pictures of their spelling sentences. You can also type, or do voice to speech in Word to type the sentences.  If you are missing anything, just do it and I will adjust your grade.  If it’s not done, you know that it is a Z, which no one wants! You are continually graded on your participation as well as your work product.  Your day should last about 3-3.5 hours for all subject areas.  Your iReady is 15 minutes a day for each subject for 4 days per week-some of you want to do it 5 days, which is fine.  :)  Relax, do your work, be interested in learning, keep active-both in mind and body, and participate as part of our class. Also, behave well and remember your manners/etiquette! We are still a class - we are just like that Oreo commercial now.  Lol
