Poetry Lesson
Enjoy exploring poetry in a different way today! Get inspired by a beautiful piece of poetry and create some art that shows what you see in your mind. Or go outside and find something that inspires you in nature to be descriptive and create your own poetry. Please complete at least one of these activities today. Post a picture of your artwork or nature item, and then use the microphone to read aloud the poem to go with it.
The slideshow Mrs. Mangan presented above is linked here so you can look at it closer for each center.
Slideshow for Poetry Lesson #9
Math – Mass and Compound Units
Today in the video you will learn that you can weigh objects in compound units, kilograms and grams. You will see examples of enlarged scales and discuss the value of each unlabeled mark. This video will help you understand how to read different weighing scales. Also, you will look at a balance scale instead of a weighing scale to measure the mass of an object.
Math workbook pages 15-16 (Due today – link from yesterday if you haven’t already completed them.)
Below visit Thinking Blocks to revisit bar modeling strategies. You can select a model to challenge yourself to different word problems.

Ongoing Project – COVID-19 Time Capsule
One activity that many students completed during “Wellness Week” was a COVID – 19 Time Capsule. If you didn’t, here is a great opportunity to reflect over how this historical event is impacting you. We are living through history and during times like these, it might be interesting to take notes about your experience and reflect on what you are going through so that years from now, you can look back on this time capsule and realize you have experienced a very historic moment in our world’s history!
