Activity #1 - Scholastic Magazine Packet

Read the Scholastic Magazine from cover to cover. I hope you enjoy this one. It contains two articles about Thanksgiving! There are some short articles too I think you will enjoy. Instructions on how to access the magazine online are attached to the Scholastic packet. After reading the articles don’t forget to watch the fun videos and play the games that are available to you.

Once you have read the magazine, you will be completing 3 of the worksheets that are included in the packet. Everyone is to complete the “Be a Quiz Whiz” worksheet. There are a total of 10 questions about the stories that are included in the magazine. Make sure to go back to the articles to find your answers.

After completing this page, you have a choice. You will be choosing one of the Thanksgiving articles, “Take the Thanksgiving Challenge” or “The Plymouth Story”.  You are to choose one of the articles, you may not choose a worksheet from each article. If you choose the “Thanksgiving Challenge” , you have a “Giving Thanks” activity about the Native Americans and a “Close Reading Questions” page. If you choose the “Plymouth Story”, you will be completing a “Plymouth Timeline” page and the “Close-Reading Questions” page for that story.

When doing the “Close Reading” papers, please remember to use complete sentences. A one or two word answer is not acceptable. Remember you are big kids now and we write as big kids. To answer each question, you should be creating 3 or more sentences. Remember - (A sentence is a complete thought which has a subject and a verb) You did great on this assignment last month - keep up the good work. Remember to take your time and go back to the articles to find your answers. Use the tools you have and do your best. 

Activity #2 - Math Workbook Page

We have finished our chapter on subtraction. Your assignment today is to complete the review sheet attached. If you need additional space, please use a separate sheet of paper and attach it to the worksheet. You are to complete all the questions on the worksheet. If you have any questions, please contact me during our ZOOM office hour. Remember, our test for this chapter will be on Friday so if there is something you don’t understand or have trouble with, let me know.

Read the attached information about this special feast day that is celebrated in Puerto Rico and the origins of this special title given to Mary.
