E-Learning Monday April 13th

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

I hope you all enjoyed Wellness Week. I saw many great posts about your activities and adventures-thank you for sharing that with me. 

This week is filled with new, exciting learning opportunities as you will be Zooming with Ms. Cameron, Ms. Sorensen and Mr. Borgia (be sure you have joined his Google Classroom with the code he emailed to your parents). We are starting a new science unit on Weather, continuing with poetry, moving on to a new Mass & Weight unit in math and hanging out with Mr. Casal on Tuesday. Your Zoom schedule is in your social studies folder. 

FIRST – In your social studies and math folders, there is now a MARCH folder. Please drag ALL of your previous work into that folder so that it is easier to find new assignments. 

Now we can get started. It’s Monday, so that means a discussion starter and I am curious to know what you learned during Wellness Week. You can post on our Padlet something you learned to do/make/build or something you learned about yourself.  

Today we are Zooming at 10:30 and I will be introducing our new Science unit. I am really excited about this! Don’t be late and come with paper & a pencil! 

Other assignments:

Math

Ms. DeGrazia introduces the new unit in this video: Mass & Weight

The Textbook pages AND the Workbook pages are in your math folder. You can insert a shape and solve directly on the pages in these slides. OR I’ve also emailed these pages to your parents to print out and upload them to the new April E-Learning Slides (in your social studies folder). 

Independent Reading

Read for 30 minutes. This can be on Epic (if you haven’t logged onto epic yet, please follow the directions below and do so now); TrueFlix, a physical book, Scholastic, or even an audiobook. 

Choose two pages to photograph and read to me on SeeSaw by Friday.

Logging onto Epic: go to https://www.getepic.com/students and use the code ecu0778.

Poetry: Repetition 

Today you will be learning about how repetition in a poem can create a rhythm or emphasize an idea. After you watch the lesson create your own poems trying to use repetition. Take a picture of the poem and read it aloud on Seesaw for us all to see and hear. Repetition Video

Words Their Way

Log in and look for your new assignment. 

See you all at 10:30!

E-Learning Thursday March 26th

Good morning my awesome third graders!

How is everyone doing this morning? There are 2 zoom sessions scheduled for today, one at 10am and the other at 11am. These will be for you to join and ask any questions you have about the assignments or how to use any of the tech. The links are in your social studies folder on Drive. Please try to join at least one of the sessions. 

As you get ready to plan your day, as always, remember to make time for snack and recess. Taking a mental break is really important, it also gives you a chance to relax and refocus when you do get back to the learning. 

So let’s get started…

ART 

Have you seen what Ms. Cameron has posted for you on the Heathcote Gateway? 

She has been busy getting ready to connect with you on Google Classroom. This is your code:

3rd Grade-Boyer gcbfwj2

Write it down and put it somewhere that you will remember. 

Click on the link above, choose Google Classroom Setup on the left, and follow the instructions. You’ll need this code to connect. 

Because of Winn-Dixie

Now that we have finished the book, it is time to enjoy the movie! Watch the movie Because of Winn Dixie if you are able to. When you do, complete the Compare/Contrast Chart that is in your READING folder on Drive. 

Field Trip

Let’s take a trip to a place somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit! The San Diego Zoo. 

Before you get lost looking at the alligators, bears, and cheetahs, take a look at the Virtual Field Trip Bingo Board I made for you (It’s in your social studies folder on Drive). 

In Bingo, players complete three in a row to claim the prize. Since the prize here is ultimate knowledge and fun, you can choose one or more activities to complete. You may need additional resources to help you complete some of the activities, so be sure to use the library resources page. 

Math

Math from earlier this week is now in your math folder on Drive if you haven’t completed that yet. You can use the text box to insert your answers. 

Cultural Universals – Please complete the slides assigned yesterday, that are in your social studies folder, by Friday.  

Looking forward to seeing you all later!
