Week of June 27, 2022

Literacy
True value in literacy doesn’t just mean one can read quickly or answer closed-ended comprehension questions correctly, but in being able to reflect and respond. What connections can be made between the heart and the text by drawing on one’s prior knowledge and life experiences?

When your students read, use the reading response journal prompts to interact with the text in a meaningful way.

Math
Toy Theater is a free collection of interactive educational games and what’s even better is that they’re designed to work on computers, tablets, and mobile devices! Students can check out the games below. Perimeter Climber is a favorite!

Social-Emotional Wellness
This week’s literacy focus is geared toward all students. Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can help you improve your health, manage stress, overcome challenges, and make better choices. Everyone can benefit from improving their positive thinking skills!

The idea is that by changing your thinking, you can control your emotions and your actions. Positive thinking skills often start with positive-self talk, which means using the voice in your head to say positive thoughts about yourself or a situation. Create your own positive thinking list and start a daily affirmation routine to feel positive vibes all summer long!
