If you didn’t get a chance to complete the work from yesterday you can absolutely do it today. I will continue to add activities for those of you who are excited and willing!

Hi 3D! I hope you enjoy checking out some of the activities I have created for you today. Remember to record your thinking by printing out the work and saving it in a folder, or record your thinking by adding to the Google Slideshow in your Social Studies Folder in your drive named, E-Learning Slideshow. If you have any questions contact me through this padlet: E-Learning Padlet.

I have been reviewing your class blogs and noticed some students did not post their biography projects.  Please remember this was due last Monday and we already completed this work in class.  You need to publish, categorize, and tag your post. If you are having trouble to embed your google slide, remember go to heathcotegateway, to technology, to resources, to tutorials, to blogging. Follow the steps to embed a googleslide (skip slides 10-19).

I may ask you along the way to sign up for the different online tools that we can use throughout our time outside of the classroom. There are instructions below for our first one, Epic.

ELA: READ ~LITERARY ESSAYS~SPELLING

You should read 30 minutes or more everyday.  If you do not have an independent book, remember to use the Library online databases to help.  Also, I would like you to read on RazKids and complete the multiple choice questions 2-3 times per week.  I will check your login weekly.

Join my class for Epic! It is a website that has read alouds, audiobooks and videos. Directions are below. (Go to www.getepic.com/students and the class code is mru9731).  We will use books from Epic in future posts, but you can start as soon as you would like.

Spelling- I assigned all groups their spelling work for the week. Go to Heathcote Gateway to Words Their Way www.pearsonrealize.com. Your assignment will be posted and the directions are the same as if we were in class.  The only difference will be that I cannot take a small group to teach you the lesson.  Take your time and have fun!

Please look at my post from March 12 about Ruby the Copycat. Follow the 2 steps listed on March 12 for Ruby the Copycat (some of you already did this last week :)).  Once you listen to the story and brainstorm different theses’ on the padlet,  you are ready to start a literary essay organizer.  Please click Literary Essay outline  and print to organize your thesis, three pieces of evidence, and elaborate to why this evidence is important.  The hard copy of Ruby the Copycat can also be printed here.  

**A hard copy text is needed to underline the text evidence to support your thesis (just like we did with “Those Shoes” in class).

Need a little more challenge? Once you’ve completed the organizer, write your literary essay! This may take more than 1 day to complete.

Remember these guidelines as you write.

  • Paragraph 1:
    • Introduce Book and Author
    • Clearly state your claim
  • Paragraph 2:
    • Lead into your evidence: (One part of the story when…, One example of when…, In the beginning of the story _____ was _______ when…, etc.)
    • Give your text evidence (Paraphrase or use exact quotation)
    • Explain WHY your evidence matters: (This shows, this explains why, In other words, etc.)
  • Paragraph 3: Repeat Paragraph 2 but with your second piece of text evidence
  • Paragraph 4: Repeat Paragraph 2 but with your third piece of text evidence
  • Paragraph 5: Conclusion
    • Restate your claim
    • Explain what the character or the reader learns. What can we take away from reading this text?

Show off your amazing essay by either printing it and bringing it to school when we see each other next, or add it to the ELA section of the E-Learning Slideshow.

If you are having some trouble I included some examples of literary essays from “Those Shoes” to help understand the format that we practiced in class.

Hello Third Graders!

I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to share with you some activities you can do while we are out of school. I will begin posting activities on Monday, March 16th.

For all of the activities you can record your work in a Google Slideshow that was shared with you and placed in your Social Studies folder on Google Drive. This slideshow is called, E-Learning Slideshow.

In that slideshow you will see that it is separated by subject area. As you complete an activity, record your thinking in that area. Add new slides when you need to.

If access to a computer is challenging, or you would prefer to hand write your work, feel free to print out the activities and keep your work in a folder.

If you have any questions about the activities over the next few days please use Padlet to get in touch with me. Here is the Padlet link to ask your question. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
