Good Morning 3D!
Please watch the introduction video first, then read the blog 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!

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!
READING/WRITING:Repetition in Poetry
Please watch the video below made by Mrs. Mangan. 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 one of your poems and read it aloud on Seesaw for us all to see and hear.
