April 14-17 Lesson Plans


Note to Parents: Not all items need to be sent back to me. Some items (weather chart, calendar) can be sent in at the end of the month.  I will indicate which items I would like to have a copy of completed work.  But use your discretion as time allows for you.  As far as reading goes, once your child is ready to read a book independently to me, you can send a 5 minute video clip. Do not worry if they cannot read the entire book in that time frame. I just need a glimpse of independent reading.  Once a week is what I am hoping for. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures/videos you have sent me so far!!! You are doing amazing work with your children.
