Good morning! 

I hope you all enjoyed some time outdoors yesterday! I loved walking along the Bronx River Parkway and seeing all of the baby geese following their parents – they were quite cute and fluffy! I’m looking forward to our zoom today because we will be talking about fantasy writing and artifacts that tell the story of you! 

Our Zoom is at 10:30, please bring your artifacts, review these slides All About Me Discussion Question Slides and also have your notebook with you as we will be talking about fantasy writing. The day ends with Library Broadcast at 2:30 with Ms Sorensen. 

Have you made your Google Form for our buddies? If you haven’t, then add that to your to-do list for today. This is due Friday. Your buddies will be so surprised and happy to hear from you next week. 

Planner’s ready? Let’s get started…

MATH: Converting Time

In this lesson, you will be learning how to convert time from hours to minutes and minutes to hours. You will need a pencil and paper to actively participate in the lesson and complete some of the work alongside this tutorial. There may be times you will want to watch parts of the tutorial again, as this can be challenging work.

WRITING

Imaginative Narrative #3

Authors often learn from other writers and use specific pieces of writing as their mentor text. Today you will explore a story that will become a mentor text for us, map it out on a story mountain, and look closely at the elements of fantasy writing. This is a two-day assignment as there are several parts. 

• Watch the introductory video
• Read/Listen to The Paper Bag Princess
• Complete the Story Mountain for The Paper Bag Princess
• Add your thinking to the Elements of Fantasy Padlet 
• Answer the reflection questions on Slide #8

SOCIAL STUDIES

There has been a lot of talk about primary sources the last few weeks. But what about secondary sources? Aren’t they pretty great too? Watch today’s video to explore what makes secondary sources so useful.

SMART FACT

On this day in 1927 Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, NY, flying the “Spirit of St. Louis” on an epic flight from New York to Paris. It was a milestone in flying aviation history. He completed the 33-hour, 30-minute flight and landed at Le Bourget Airport, Paris on the evening of 21 May. The Spirit of St. Louis is an artifact that is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Watch this video to see Charles Lindbergh’s plane being lowered to the floor of the museum to be inspected and a plan made for preservation.
