Students shared that they prefer to have their assignments separated by the week (and again by English and Spanish.) We listened and have only posted assignments in the Week 35 English topic and the Week 35 Spanish topic.  (The choice board still works and we have updated the links.) We chose not to include specialists or ‘extra’ assignments in these postings.  Those items can still be found by going directly to those topics.

La Lectura

This week’s learning objectives are:

• This week we will read “La reina no puede reír:”
• We will identify 4 important supporting details to help us better understand what we have read.
• We will also work to show our reading comprehension by answering questions in complete sentences on “La bandera nueva nación.”
• We will write for a purpose and edit our writing before submitting it.

• Estimate and find actual masses of objects by using different scales.
