At-Home Learning
Every day I'm learning more about Google Classroom! I have a routine now, and this is how I assign the students' work every day:
I'm very happy with Storylineonline because they offer quality literature read by brilliant readers as well as before and after reading activities. If I can't find a book on this web site, I'll head to You Tube where I can often find a story read by the author ~ which is such an amazing opportunity! If I use these books, I always convert the link on safeyoutube.net to make sure there are no ads. Here is an example of what I do for at-home reading:
Books to Read
I just finished this book, The Silent Patient, and my husband read the same book in two days because he couldn't put it down. You can click on the cover to read more at Amazon.
Right now I'm reading The Dutch House
which I'm thoroughly enjoying. I just
love books by Ann Patchett! Her writing is tremendous and descriptive. I love the characters in this book ~ that's Maeve on the cover!
