📖 History — Samuel Adams catch-up
Required assignment due Sunday, November 15. Monday is late catch-up if unfinished; completion is unverified.
  1. Click “History assignments,” and find “Lesson 9 — Samuel Adams Reading and Questions.” This is reading about a leader who helped the colonies seek independence, followed by questions.
  2. Check whether your own work is already finished and submitted. If not, use the printed “Samuel Adams” handout, or open “Samuel Adams.pdf” in that assignment. Read all the text, and answer every question on your own paper.
  3. The teacher asks you to photograph completed paper, upload the picture in this assignment, and use “Submit Assignment.” Submit only your own finished work. If upload fails, keep the completed pages with your history notebook, marked awaiting upload.
  4. Finished means all questions answered and the work submitted, or clearly kept awaiting upload. If already complete, read your book. If the page/handout fails, read your history notebook, and leave the assignment unfinished. Keep unfinished work for the next catch-up block.

3:00 PM - 3:40 PM
📖 History — Loyalists vs. Patriots
Required Nearpod assignment due Sunday, November 15; this is late catch-up if unfinished. Nearpod is an interactive slideshow with questions.
  1. Click “Loyalists vs. Patriots — Nearpod.” The verified screen says “Nearpod — Loyalists vs. Patriots” and shows “Full Name Required,” optional “Nickname,” and “Join Lesson.” This access gate was checked without joining or doing your work.
  2. The teacher says to enter your name so she knows whose work it is. Leave the optional nickname blank; do not add contact details. Use “Join Lesson” when you are ready to do your own assignment. Beyond that sign-in screen, these are the teacher’s instructions, not screens tested for you.
  3. Follow the slides in order. Read each slide, watch any assigned video, and answer each question, drawing prompt, or activity. The teacher says Nearpod saves and sends your answers automatically at the end.
  4. After you finish every activity, open “History assignments,” find “Loyalists vs. Patriots Nearpod Assignment,” type “Done,” and use “Submit Assignment.” Do not mark Done just for opening it. If already completed, read your book.
  5. If the lesson will not open, use your history notes to compare a Loyalist (someone who stayed loyal to Britain) and a Patriot (someone who wanted independence), then read your book. This fallback is review, not completion; keep the assignment marked unfinished, and save any progress when time ends.

3:45 PM - 4:30 PM
🏠 Rain-safe movement — optional Willard Park walk
Saturday’s forecast includes rain; indoor movement is the default. Only walk if an adult checks current conditions are safe.
  1. Go only with an available adult. Dad is not assumed free; if no adult can accompany you, use the indoor plan.
  2. Before departure, open “Walking route — home to Willard Park.” Agree on this route: 2838 Woolsey St along Woolsey St and Hillegass Ave to Willard Park, 2730 Hillegass Ave, then back the same way. Return home by 4:30 PM. Make sure someone can let you back inside.
  3. Allow about 20 minutes walking each way, with a short park pause. Bring water and a weather layer, use crossings, and stay on the route. You have no phone, Watch, or keys; do not depend on contacting home while out. This is a walk, not a bike ride.
  4. If conditions are wet/unsafe, the route fails, you cannot get back inside, or the outing cannot happen, stay home: stretch and march indoors for 15 minutes, then build with LEGO until the block ends. Put the pieces away before the next activity.

4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
📚 Read your book
Read in a quiet place.
  1. Take your current book and bookmark. Set a timer for this block, and read from your bookmark. If you finish early, choose another book you already have.
  2. At the end, bookmark your place, and put your book away.
5:30 PM - 5:45 PM
🧹 Cleanup & reset
Put away your book, LEGO, dishes, and project supplies. Clear your desk and floor. Keep unfinished classwork together; do not mark it complete just because the block ended.
