May 25-29 Activities
Grades 3-5
The activities that I post are meant to be used many times. Please go to the Past Lessons page and dive deeper and MASTER activities from before! If you are able and want to record an audio or video of yourself doing them, I would love it if you emailed them to me. An audio version can be recorded using the "Voice Memo" app, and a video version can be made using the Camera on an iPhone. (I don't know what to use on an Android).
