Here is the outline of offerings available for this week's home learning in Lang. Arts:
1. I would like students to be reading 20 - 30 minutes a day from a grade appropriate novel (would love to hear what you're reading; let me know in our weekly phone call or you can email me)
2. There are 2 new Common Lit readings available; 'The Princess and the Pea' and 'Let's See What You're Made Of.' For both of these there are instructions of what I would like you to focus on while reading them. I ask that you make notes as you read them. You can do this right on the website. If you forget how, refresh your memory watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrOYRzperKo
NOTE: Don't forget, if you're having trouble reading teh text, CommonLit provides a Read Aloud button just to the right fo the text title.
3. If you are looking for some Grammar practice, I have a 2-week trial of a great website https://ca.ixl.com/ Every Grade 6 student has a unique code that will put them in my class. All you need do is email me or call me and I can give you your unique username and password. Once you login, you can do any of the Language Arts activities but I would suggest:
-A5: Is it a complete sentence or a fragment?
-A6: Is it a complete sentence or a run-on?
-B1: Identify common and proper nouns?
-B2: Form plurals of nouns ending in f, fe, o and y
