Due to the timeframe in which homeschooling is lasting, we are asking that reading, math and writing be "essential" assignments. They should be completed, yet if they are completed past the "due date" (as always) that is absolutely acceptable. 

 

All other assignments (social studies, science, character ed.) are considered, "extension" activities. 

 

If you are able to complete all assignments, "essential" and "extension". 

 

Please continue to do so.

 

 

 

BIG SURPRISE!!! 

 

We have new friends in kindergarten 

 

to watch!

 

Caterpillars that will turn into…

 

Painted Lady butterflies!

 

  

Here is a link that will show you the metamorphosis of this caterpillar :)

Do 20 questions under each topic- you can do more if you want! When your Smart score gets to 100, the program stops you. So if it is taking a long time, just do the 20 questions for each topic.

 

 

You can also go on ANY topic on your own in any subject area for additional practice!
