Good morning fourth grade!
I hope everyone had a safe and restful sleep. I know I did. Yesterday morning I sent a note about accessing your Khan Academy account. Today I'm making suggestions for areas to work on for each of you. I want you to
1) log in to Khan,
2) check the recommendations I've made for you, and
3) spend 30 - 40 minutes working on those items.
When you sign in, you don't need a password or username, just sign in with your google (school) email address and it should remember you. Go to the SKILLS page and it will tell you what areas you need to be working on.
It's too bad we had to leave our backpacks at school, because this would be the perfect time to do some reading in Oz, Sammy and Clues.
I'm working on a couple other things for you this morning so be sure to check your mail regularly!
