Learning From Home - Week 3 (April 20th-27th)

Posted: April 20, 2020

Good morning,

I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the sun. I also hope you took advantage of the beautiful weather to go outside and get some fresh air.

Here are some suggested activities for the week of April 20th-24th.

Math

You can spend some time each day working on Dreambox. This is a great resource to learn new skills and keep your math abilities sharp. When you start a lesson, it is important to finish the lesson before moving on to other lessons.

This week, I am posting a question of the week to try. I will have the answer to this problem posted on Monday, April 27th. The problem can be found at:

For student with limited access to technology, options could include board games, cards, Yahtzee, crib, puzzles, sudoku, etc.

Another option in Math could be to practice multiplication facts. A great way to learn these is by using flash cards if you have them. Students could create their own flash cards. Long multiplications are also an option: multiplying 2 by 1, multiplying 2 by 2, multiplying 3 by 1, multiplying 3 by 2.

Science

For those of you who enjoyed the activity on birds last week,  you can check out the activities at :

 (The slideshow is great with some cool links for videos.)

If birds are not your thing, don't forget that ASD-N has a new STEAM challenge this week. This week’s activity can be found at:

(This week is all about wind power. Build a pinwheel, a kite or an anemometer. Many options are available on this site for you.)

**If you did not do the STEAM challenge last week, you could check out the week 1 challenge and do some work with plants.

I have given you many options! Pick what interest you!

Have a great week!
