I hate to say it. I really do. But some of you are falling behind! Yikes! Let’s review the basic schedule:  8 a.m.–start your day HERE on the Daily Platypus to review what’s up;           8:30 a.m.—participate in the Google Classroom interactive session; 9:30 or 10:30 attend your Zoom session; the rest of the day, work independently on ALL the items from the day’s checklist (which is in Classwork). 

Today we’re trying our first Mini Math competition. Be in Classroom at 8:15 to get the problems in advance (much easier that way). The game starts at 8:35.

In Zoom groups Z & 4 meet at 9:30 (Group Z: Liam, Cash, Isaiah, Damon, Waylon, Dayton, Dom, Karysn); (Group 4: Jordann, Bre, Scarlet, Kylie, Roxy, and Kelsi)

Groups W & 7 meet at 10:30 (Group W: Daimon, Kaleb, Daimien, Max, Sea, Connor, Gabe, and Quinton); (Group 7: Rachel, McKinna, Shayla, Maizie, Keila) 

If your time doesn’t work very well for you, let me know and I’ll work something out.

PE: We want you to have tried all the PE workouts listed by Friday so that we can vote one of them off the island. So do a workout and report it on your PE & Reading Log. By the way, MANY of you aren’t filling out your reading log every day. I hate to say this, too, but if you keep ignoring it, you’ll get an F in reading come Thanksgiving. That’d kinda stink, wouldn’t it?

History: Explorers and Horses

Reading: Dog People and quiz in Storyworks.

Science: Acellus science lessons 4 and 5, plus my follow-up video

Math: Happy Numbers (you should finish the day with at least 60 minutes) and math homework sheet E (self-correct as practice for Friday’s quiz). Re-watch my video from Monday if you’re lost.
