Good Morning 3D!
Please watch the video first, then read the post more carefully for details.
Remember to plan out your day. Do an assignment. Take a mental break (go outdoors, listen to music, play a board game – whatever you need.) Then come back and tackle another assignment. That seems to be the best approach and one where you can get the most out of your day!
Please remember to visit the specials websites: Heathcotegateway E-Learning option
Visit Dr Schultz’s google classroom for her new assignment: Let’s Learn about the Viola
REMINDER: After completing your work everyday PLEASE press share and include my email (ldegrazia@scarsdaleschools.org) , so I can review and comment on your slides promptly.

Questions? Continue to add to our class Padlet: E-Learning Questions
READING/WRITING: Poetry- Alliteration
Please watch Mrs. Mangan’s video below to understand another writing device called alliteration. Write several poems in your journal and then pick one to submit on Seesaw. Remember to upload your poem, read and record your poem for us to see!
Check out the link below to learn about different types of alliteration and read children’s alliteration poems.
Poetry Websites: Read 10 minutes or so for poetry
- Poets.org

Please complete 20 minutes of independent reading. Don’t forget about Raz Kids, Storyworks Jr., Scholastic News, Epic, True Flix, and e-books on the library databases.
Your science reading today can count towards your 30 minutes:)
CURSIVE: Lowercase q and n
If you need to complete these two pages by Friday, that is fine:)
Please watch the two videos to help with your formation of q and n. You may need to watch the videos more than once and then skywrite.
Please print and complete q and n cursive pages: Take a picture and insert in E-Learning Slideshow under cursive.
MATH: MASS AND WEIGHT
Please watch Mrs. Luciano’s video below teaching you about grams. This is another unit to measure mass. You will need paper and a pencil when you pause and record your answers. Mrs. Luciano will work alongside you and when you un-pause the video, you can check your work.
Have fun with this interactive pan balance activity. Mrs. Luciano showed you two examples already in the video, so you can try more on your own. Interactive Pan Balance
Please complete workbook pages 13-14 for your work today.

Congrats we have a total of 193,345 facts solved in our class.
ANSWER KEY FROM YESTERDAYS MATH WORK: Please make corrections with your bar models
Workbook pp11-12 bar model answers
SCIENCE: WEATHER AND CLIMATE
Please watch Mrs. Boyer’s video as she outlines your science work for today.
HERE ARE WRITTEN STEPS TO HELP YOU TOO:
- Continue recording the weather in your weather journal. Either print out the journal from your science folder or use this link (Weather Journal) to do it digitally. Your choice!
- Here are the weather websites: Wunderground and News 12
- Read the headings “The Daily Forecast” and “The Importance of Weather Forecasts” in the PebbleGo Next article that you started yesterday: Forecasting Weather. (If this link does not work for you, try going to the library databases, clicking on PebbleGo Next and searching, “Forecasting Weather” to get to the article.)
- Scientists collect data and use sophisticated equipment to predict the weather. Read this to learn how animal behaviors and nature can be good predictors of weather too! National Geographic for Kids: Predict the Weather
Complete the Stop and Think questions. Copy and paste the last three slides into the Science section of your April E-Learning Slideshow and answer the questions using details from your reading.
Heathcote Community Service Project – Show them WE CARE!
We would like to welcome all our 3rd grade friends and family to extend our deepest gratitude to those working hard to save lives at our local White Plains Hospital! Our Heathcote Community Service Committee is working alongside Friends of White Plains Hospital for an Art Drive so we can all express our appreciation! Your small gesture will bring smiles to all those working hard to help others in need!
Here’s how you can participate:
This week from April 10th – April 17th, you can create a special handmade drawing, painting, or sketch for all the care providers at White Plains Hospital.
When completed, place it in a ziplock bag and drop your creation off at 51 Lawrence Road. There will be a donation bin located at the front door.
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!
