ELA: Book Clubs- Virtual Book Club Conversations 

The best part of being in a book club is that you get to talk with your classmates about the book you are reading. You get to laugh together about your favorite part, build on each other’s ideas and see different perspectives by respectfully disagreeing with one another. It is these conversations that help you grow as a reader and thinker. Watch the video to remind yourself of what a great book club conversation looks and sounds like both in the classroom and virtually.

Science: Weather and Climate

In this lesson, Mystery Doug will take you on an adventure around the world to identify climate zones and weather patterns. Watch the introductory video carefully so you will know how to prepare for the awesome learning opportunity that Doug has prepared for you.

NOTE: In the video they show supplies for a group because it is made for a classroom activity, you will only need one of each of the maps to complete the activity.

Please use these slides Weather & Climate Part Three to guide you for your work today

This is a two day activity, so you can finish it by Friday.

    • Remember since we aren’t in class when Doug says get 2 maps you are only printing 1 map of each that we provided–follow Mrs. Boyer’s directions

  • Watch Mystery Doug video: Climate, Geography and Global Weather Patterns
  • Color in Climate Decoder & MAPS and follow Doug’s directions

SMART FACT

On this day in 1993 the World Wide Web was born. A team at the University of Illinois’ National Center for Supercomputing Applications released Mosaic, the first Web browser to become popular with the general public. The next few years saw the launch of such websites as Yahoo (1994), Amazon (1995), eBay (1995) and Google (1998).  What do you imagine the future of the web to be like when you are in college?
