But you can still get some things done from home to ensure you don’t return feeling behind, overwhelmed, or out-of-the-loop:
I’ve added a page for this week’s spelling list (week 12) so you can study.
I have scanned this week’s Math Bellwork Pkg and added a page as well so you could print and work on it or copy the questions from your screen and complete; also I’ve included the New Years Creative writing you need to do for our New Year’s display board and this week’s virtue response handout for Orderliness.
You took home your cue cards for your test on Friday on Archimedes’ principles of buoyancy so make sure you are studying. (but I have also scanned it and added a page – tab too: you’re welcome 🙂 ).
Find 10 ‘artifacts’ for your Global Citizen Student Researcher assignment with Hoa and write a half page examination for it; and take a picture if you can.
