It is Think About It Thursday and I think all of you have been doing so well with your academic and social learning.  I have been able to view your reading passage and question work.  Well done.  Keep it up!  Just as we do in the classroom with practice, practice, perform, we are going to take that same learning approach and apply it to our altered way of teaching and learning.

As you work through the reading assignments, keep in mind that next week you will have another related set of stories to practice with.  Next week the assignment results will be shared with you. During the week of April 27, (Monday, April 27 is a Pro-D Day) I will assign some repeat passages and those will be the reading passages that I consider for assessment.  Always remember that learning is a process.

I have also been touched by the words and creativity of the Cinquains that have been sent in.  I am hoping to have a gallery page on the blog where I am able to share some of your work.  The possibilities of Spring are endless and a connection to nature is coming out in your poetry.

Speaking of nature, I have seen a few slugs out and about on my trail walks.  Usually in April/May we start to see some snails slowly but surely making their way through the gardens.  Just as there are social distancing signs up in the parks, there should be Snail Crossing signs so we don’t step on those silent creatures of the forest.  Ms. Hossack has added a new feature to her blog.  She has a page called Read Alouds.  You can access this page by going to the menu tab at the top of her blog and clicking on Read Alouds.  When you open the page it will say PASSWORD PROTECTED PAGE!  The password is library13!  I will put all this information on my Mrs. Hossack library page.                                                  This weeks READ ALOUD is Snail Crossing by Corey R. Tabor.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Have a Thoughtful Thursday knowing that my virtual office is always open and I will try to respond to your questions, concerns, thoughts and assignments as soon as I can.

Mrs. E.  Continue to be the Clinton Stars that you are!
