Please complete this assignment today, so you don't fall behind. Please email me with any questions you have!

Each week, I will be adding resources to use at home to my webpage. Please check it out!

Today is Free Choice Friday! 

 

2nd Grade:

  • Time yourself reading the words on word list Level 13 (Doubling ff,ss,ll,zz). Record the date and your time on the bottom of the page. Did you beat Wednesday’s time?
  • Choose any fiction book of your choice, preferably a book you have never read that you have at home. 
  • Write a few sentences stating your opinion about the book. Make sure to include the title and author of the book and evidence from the book that supports your opinion. If you wish, have an adult take a picture of your opinion response and email it to me at   nbraunstein@warrentboe.org  

Here is an example of one that I wrote:

     I read the book, Old Jacket, New Jacket by Elliott Goldberg. I really enjoyed reading this book because I was interested  to see how Iris would make her jacket look special. I thought her design was very pretty and creative. I love how she used things she had around the house to make the old jacket look so cool. This story made me want to design and decorate my own denim jacket so that I could make an old jacket look new again! What a perfect Flexible Instruction Day activity!

I can’t wait to read your opinion piece!

1st Grade:

  • Read any fiction book of your choice, preferably a book that you have at home that you have never read. If you prefer, you can choose a picture book or a favorite story that an adult reads to you. 
  • Write a sentence telling the main characters and the setting (where the story takes place) of the story. 
  • Draw a picture of your favorite part or if you prefer, write about your favorite part.
  • Practice your sight words playing Your Pile My Pile with an adult. See how fast you can read all of them!
  • Time yourself reading the words on word list Level 8 (Review a,i,o,u). Record the date and your time on the bottom of the page. Did you beat Wednesday’s time?

Please email me if you have any questions nbraunstein@warrentboe.org
