Good Morning Everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It’s hard to imagine that we are already in the final week of May. Summer will be here before we know it!
Here are a few activities to start your week:
Read for enjoyment. Please continue reading on Epic Books and KidsA-Z. I see many of you are still actively participating on these sites. For those of you needing a change, I would like to introduce another reading platform called Rivet. Rivet offers a collection of online books at a variety of levels. It is free to use, and you do not need to sign up for an account. Click the link below to watch an introduction and see a few of the special features on this site.
If you are using a tablet you will need to download the app. If you are using a laptop or desktop computer, you can access the site here:

Write a journal entry. Here is a prompt to get you started:
Watch and respond to the following video.
What was your reaction while you were watching? What questions or comments came to mind? Are you able to make any connections to something you have seen or experienced? It certainly reminds me of all the amazing domino tracks that were set up in our classroom this year!
OR
Design and describe your own domino track. Where would you build it? What obstacles would you include? Would there be any special tricks or stunts involved? You are welcome to draw and label the track with your information instead of writing in paragraph form. You may want to use one of the blank pages in your Response Booklet instead of using your journal.
Please plan to work for a focused 20 minutes. You do not need to use this writing prompt if you already have a journal idea in mind. Don’t forget to start with the date.
Visit the music and library blogs. Both Ms. Raap and Ms. Yee have new posts on their blogs. Be sure to check them out!

Visit the ELL page. Ms. Simmons has been busy doing one-on-one reading with students, but she would still like to hear from you! If you haven’t had the opportunity to work on the ELL activities, there is still time. Visit the tab at the top of the page and then scroll to find your group.
Enjoy your week everyone and I will see you back here on Wednesday.
