Zoom schedule today: 

Happy birthday to August – Bring a joke to today’s zoom. We will have five students share today.

Tech/ August’s birthday/ 3D DeGrazia whole class- 11-12pm

Small group after zoom: #1, 12, 15, 16, 19,

Tomorrow for Spirit Day we will have a dance party with our buddies 12-12:15. Come dressed in HE spirit!

NOTE:  We will review bookclub padlet posts today. We need a better effort with our posting by thinking more deeply about our characters and the conflicts they face.  Think about the theories you are making about your characters. Use text evidence to show what your character says or does to support the character traits you develop.  How does your secondary characters play a role in the story? We need to think more about our books for better understanding, rather than just reporting what happened in the stories.  In third grade we need to remember the skills we learned in class to make higher level comprehension posts and ideas. Also, I would like to see more effort on the bingo board responses.  Remember to tell us the bingo board number too.  These assignments are part of your participation for the day.  You should spend at least 15 minutes each on these assignments. If you finish your book, please have one member email me and I will make the next padlet for your club. Everyone should be almost done with their first book.

ELA: Theme with Bingo Board

Today you will be diving deeper into one of the Bingo board activities that focuses on theme. Watch the video and if you would like, choose activity #17 to connect your book club book theme to other books, movies and t.v. shows with the same theme. Use the Shareable Graphic Organizer to help you formulate the theme of your book. 

If you choose a different Bingo board activity for today, just be sure to pick something different than what you have chosen before. Post your final product to Seesaw, explaining which book you are reading and identify the name and number of the activity you completed. 

SPELLING: WORDS THEIR WAY

Please look at your new sort for this week. Complete a few activities per day (about 15 min).  Leave the writing sort for Friday, otherwise it will erase your data.  You may have to repeat blind and speed sorts more than once to receive 100%.Check all assignments on Friday, then submit all. www.pearsonrealize.com.

Math: Adding and Subtracting Liters and milliliters (Part 1) using various strategies

Watch this video below. Make sure you have a pencil and paper handy so that you may work alongside the video. At times, you will be asked to “pause” the video to think through an idea or “pause” the video to work through the problem to arrive at your next step or solution. If your answer does not match the solution on the video, you may want to watch that portion again to see what your misunderstanding was.

NOTE: The second problem in this video the correct answer is 1L 550ml around 7:55 on the video. Mrs. Luciano by accident copied the problem wrong. It is supposed to be 3L 350 ml- 1L 800 ml which equals 1L 550ml.

Smart Fact

On this day in 1846 first printed copies of “Poems” by Emily, Charlotte and Anne Brontë, were  published under pseudonyms (pen name) of Acton, Currer and Ellis Bell. Women often had to write using a man’s name because it wasn’t considered proper for a woman to be working in the world of literature. Even the wildly popular Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was asked to NOT use her name, Joanne Rowling, but instead her initials to attract more male readers. Check out this website to learn about J.K. Rowling’s other pen name and books that she published using that name. 

 

 

 

WEINBERG NATURE CENTER: Sam Weinstock, the naturalist at Weinberg Nature Center, has organized a weekly Virtual Field Trip for K-5 students.  The webinar is designed to enrich your passion for the natural world and the animals that live within it.  Each week, a different animal group will be observed. Take a look at this schedule to get the links for these special events (it is also in your science folder).

MATH: MEASURE CAPACITY IN LITERS

There are two systems that are used for measurement, a customary one used in the United States, and the metric system used in most of the world and also in the sciences in the United States.  We will continue to look at the metric system used for capacity.

Watch the video below to understand more about capacity and units of measurement; liters and milliliters. 

NOTE: This is not from our school so parental settings will need to be adjusted if they are turned on.

Watch today’s video to measure and estimate the capacity of containers in liters.  Is it less than or more than 1 liter?

Today explore your kitchen and find containers of liquid.  Can you find containers 1 liter or more and can you find containers less than 1 liter? Post your containers and explanations on Seesaw.

SMART FACT

On April 28, 1916, Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the car company that bears his name and is known for stylish, high-performance cars, was born in Italy. His first business was making tractors. He decided to make sports cars when the Ferrari that he owned had mechanical difficulties. The very first Lamborghini 350 GTV was released in 1963 and the company’s logo was established as bull. Take this logo quiz to see how many companies you can easily recognize.

MATH: COMPARING CAPACITY

Watch this video first to recap our work from last week and move into our new unit of study. Can you guess what that might be?

Watch this video below to learn about another measurement called capacity.  Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold.  You will watch a demonstration how different containers can have different shapes and sizes and a variety of capacities.

Look around your house for different containers. Can you find the capacities and can you compare them?  Show us what you learn today and post it on seesaw. Remember to ask an adult if it is ok to do this and be mindful with your water.

SCIENCE: Weather and Climate due Wednesday

Please watch the video in its entirety so you’ll be prepared with all that you need to enjoy this learning opportunity with Mystery Doug. You’ll learn how to spot a storm and create a booklet that highlights different types of clouds. This is a two day assignment, it is due on Wednesday. 

In this Mystery, students learn how to make predictions about the weather by observing clouds and their changes. In the activity, Storm Spotter’s Guide, you will create a small book to record your notes, identify different types of clouds, and think about wind direction to figure out if a storm is heading your way.

Steps to complete:

  • Weather & Climate Part One Slides are in your science folder. 
  • Print booklet : mystery-science before watching the video
  • The link to watch Mystery Doug “Stormy Skies” is on the slides.
