GRAMMAR:

Tell someone at home if these verbs happened in the past (already happened), present (happening now), or future (hasn't happened yet):

1. I baked cookies yesterday.

2. Susie is skating really fast!

3. Tomorrow I will shovel the snow.

READING:

Read for at least 20 minutes and answer these questions. Tell your answers to someone at home:

• If it is a narrative (fiction) book:
• What is the theme of the book you chose? (acceptance, friendship, honesty, responsibility. perseverance, courage...)
• Why do you think that? Give at least one reason.
• If it is an informational book (non-fiction):
• What is this book mostly about? (Main idea)
• What details are important to the main idea of the text?

MATH:

Practice subtraction with these online games:

• Pearl Search (Easy)
• Subtraction Basketball (Medium)
• Subtraction Soccer (Difficult)

*Note: These games may not be i-pad compatible.

I can't wait to see you back at Somerset! Until then, STAY WARM! :-)
