📖 US History catch-up — Tensions Grow

Required Tensions Grow Assignment was due Sunday, November 8. Completion is not verified. This is catch-up if it is still unfinished—not a claim it was done.

1. Click “History assignments.” The page lists assignments and their instructions; scroll to “Lesson 8 — Tensions Grow Assignment.” This asks you to read about growing tensions between the colonies and Great Britain, then answer questions.
2. Check whether you already completed and submitted it. If not, use your printed “Tensions Grow Assignment” sheet, or click the same-named PDF under the assignment to view it. Read the content, and answer every question on your sheet. Do not copy the guided-notes answer key as homework.
3. The teacher says to take a clear picture of the completed paper, upload it in this assignment, and click “Submit Assignment.” Do this only for your own finished work, using your iPad’s camera if needed; if upload access fails, keep the paper with your history notebook for class. Finished means your answers are complete and submitted, or clearly kept as awaiting upload—not simply that you opened the page.
4. If Tensions Grow is already finished, check “Lesson 7 — Reading in New England Colonies.” Read the attached Primer image, and answer the questions on your existing printed sheet if unfinished. Keep it with your history book. If both are complete, read your current book. If the site or printed sheet is unavailable, read your history notebook and current book; keep the assignment marked unfinished.

⌨️ Ten-minute typing

Keyboard practice, not a writing assignment.

1. Open a blank document in an app you already use. Type the alphabet, then copy a few sentences from your current book, slowly and accurately. Do not submit or share the document.
2. Stop after ten minutes. If the app will not open, practice finding letter keys on the keyboard without pressing shortcuts, then read your book.

1. For the first five minutes, look at your November 2 science notes about ocean layers and currents. Explain aloud one reason water moves around the oceans.

🚶 Optional Dad-and-Leo neighborhood walk

If Dad is free and would like to, invite him for this walk. Both live calendars leave 3:00–3:45 PM clear, but that is not a promise of availability. Another available adult can go instead. Recheck the sky and walking conditions before leaving; use the at-home option if unsuitable.

1. Before leaving, tell your accompanying adult the route and 3:45 PM return time, and make sure they can get you back inside. No phone, Watch, or keys are assumed. Do not go alone on Monday.
2. From 2838 Woolsey St., walk west on Woolsey to College Ave., turn north along College toward Russell St., and return by the same route. Stay with your adult, use marked crossings, and turn back early enough to be home by 3:45.
3. If no adult can go or conditions are unsuitable, stay home: stretch, march gently in place, and build LEGO until 3:35; put LEGO away by 3:45.

📚 Reading & Charlotte’s Web review

One hour with your current book. Start by revisiting chapters 11 and 12 of Charlotte’s Web if you have the book; the teacher suggested recalling what happened, not a new written assignment.

1. Read in your room with a one-hour timer. If Charlotte’s Web is available, reread a few pages from chapters 11–12 and say aloud what happened and what caused it; then continue your book. If unavailable, recall the class discussion aloud and read your current book.
2. For Thursday’s Author’s Purpose class, think of one example where an author wants to inform, entertain, or persuade. No new reading ahead or written homework is claimed. Stop at 4:45, and mark your page.

✏️ Decimal multiplication review — ready for Thursday

Class-linked review, not generic math practice. Keep your written work for Thursday; completion is not assumed.

1. Open today’s math notebook. Redo two decimal-by-whole-number examples from class, writing each step and an estimate. Compare with your class notes.
2. If your notes have no examples, explain aloud how place value helps check a product, and write one question to bring Thursday. Put the page with your math notebook. Stop at 5:05.

🧹 Cleanup & reset

Put books, pencils, and project supplies in their places, clear your desk, and leave the floor safe. You are finished when your workspace is ready for tomorrow.
