Please watch the video first for directions on these assignments, then read the blog post more carefully.
Remember to plan out your day. Do an assignment. Take a mental break (go outdoors, listen to music, play a board game – whatever you need.) Then come back and tackle another assignment. That seems to be the best approach and one where you can get the most out of your day!
Please remember to visit the specials websites: Heathcotegateway E-Learning option
Please make sure you visit Dr. Schultz’s website too. She has an assignment waiting for you: Dr Schultz’s webpage
Mrs. Bescherer emailed your families and she will have a zoom on Thursday, April 2 from 9:30- 9:45am with all 3rd graders!
Our zoom session today will be at 11 a.m. (Final reading lesson for Winn Dixie). I shared a google doc titled “Zoom Sessions with 3D” in your Social Studies Folder in your Drive with an updated link.
I will meet with students #1,19 and 11 today after our lesson. If someone still has a question that was not answered, you can certainly stay on and ask after our lesson.

WRITING:
Also, please remember to post on your own blog about your reading work if you haven’t done so yet. You can explain that every story has a story mountain and you can include a picture of the one you are either creating or created. Another idea would be to post a list of problems and your character’s reactions to the problems Characters Face and React to Trouble. Another option could be to add a relationship timeline that shows positive and negative relationships to the main character. Last, maybe add your secondary character chart Secondary Character Organizer: Are they advisors, sidekicks, or challengers? Your blog post should be a reflection about what you are learning and doing as a reader. Please remember to include a picture of one of these jots. This is due Friday.
