First GradeMrs. FieldsMs. Wilson

In lieu of turning in instructional packets, we are asking that parentsUse their child’s Class DOJO Portfolio in order to share pictures of 3 specific pieces of completed work each week.

For activities from the learning packet or math workbook: Have students complete these assignments independently as this will help teachers adjust instructional activities as well as see how students are doing with the skills assigned (longer projects and writing pieces can be done with support).

Below are the selected weekly assignments to submit to your child’s teacher on Class DOJO portfolios (see messages from your child’s teacher for more information

Assignment 1: Realistic Fiction writing piece- be sure to watch your teacher’s learning videos on Class DOJO for more information and helpful steps and skills.

Assignment 2: Topic 8-5 Pages 474-475 #1-8 (new math content will be taught on your teacher’s videos on Tuesdays and Thursdays)
