Notes About Next Week~ WEEK OF JUNE 1st

1. Next week will be an A schedule for zooms which is in your SS folder (please note you will have to make the changes below)
2. Monday is a wellness day. All activities will be provided by the district. Your parents will be getting an e-mail about the menu of activities available to you. We will have teacher meetings all day, so we will not have a blog post for that day. Have fun and be well!
3. You will find our class blog posted on Tuesday and Wednesday. Remember Tuesday, June 2nd I have office hours 11-12 if you need me.
4. Wednesday, June 3rd we will not have a Zoom class since I will be spending the day cleaning out our classroom and packing up your school materials for you to take home  🙁 But you can still attend the library broadcast at 2:30.

 

Virtual Classroom Day!

Today is going to be a fun day. The third grade team has created a virtual classroom where all the links for your lesson work is in our virtual classroom. Be sure to watch the introductory video to learn how to access and navigate this new classroom. 

1. Check your S.S. folder in Drive for slides called, “Grade 3 Classroom.”
2. You will notice there are 5 rooms. One introductory room and one classroom for each teacher. There are links inside each of the rooms to various activities. Click everywhere! You’ll be surprised how many links are hidden 🙂
3. There are two REQUIRED activities today:

• • 1st REQUIRED: The S.S. lesson in the first room. Click on ME to hear my message. Can you guess which one is me? Watch the 3 videos on the board and then complete the Seesaw assignment called, “Postcard to a Tourist or to Your Teacher…”
  •  2nd REQUIRED: The math lesson in Ms. Luciano’s Room about Pictographs. Watch the lesson (in her smartboard) and then complete the math workbook pages (on her bookshelf)
    • Copy and Paste Slides into your May E-Learning Slideshow: Workbook pages 138-139
    • Print Option: Workbook pages 138-139

The rest of the activities are yours to choose. Maybe go on a scavenger hunt? Can you find these items? There are many more than what is listed. Have fun!

• A Mardi Gras celebration
• Elephants
• Harry Potter
• Pictograph games

SMART FACT

On this day in 1953 : Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal become the first explorers to reach the top of Mount Everest. Due to the amount of time it took to descend the mountain it was June 2nd before the rest of the world were told about the conquest. Michele Koppes is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia who uses glaciology and geomorphology to study climate and changing landscapes (that’s all sophisticated science talk for studies of the physical features of the earth). Watch this video and hear how Michele explains HOW Mt. Everest was formed – fascinating science!
