First GradeMrs. FieldsMs. Wilson

In lieu of turning in instructional packets, we are asking that parentsUse their child’s Class DOJO Portfolio in order to share pictures of 3 specific pieces of completed work each week.

For activities from the learning packet or math workbook: Have students complete these assignments independently as this will help teachers adjust instructional activities as well as see how students are doing with the skills assigned (longer projects and writing pieces can be done with support).

Below are the selected weekly assignments to submit to your child’s teacher on Class DOJO portfolios (see messages from your child’s teacher for more information

Assignment 1: Phonics Reading Comprehension: The Circus, read the passage 3 times and answer the questions (remember to use full sentences, with a capital letter to start and an ending mark). From Learning Packet

Assignment 2: Topic 8-3 Pages 462-463 #1-8 (new math content will be taught on your teacher’s videos on Tuesdays and Thursdays)

Assignment 3: Create A Plant Drawing and Label (Science Activity 3)-Draw or create (using things around the house, like a straw for the stem) a plant drawing and label each part of the plant and what that part does for the plant. Remember to watch the Homeschool Pop video to help you.
