Thursday, April 2~ E-learning

Good Morning!  Please listen to the video first, then read the post for closer details. It may help to make a checklist of the assignments for the day to help you manage your time and completion.

 

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!

Please remember to visit the specials websites:  Heathcotegateway E-Learning option

Please make sure you visit Dr. Schultz’s website too. She has an assignment waiting for you: Dr Schultz’s webpage

Mrs. Sorenson wanted us to remind you about all the reading opportunities (Reading Materials) she has on her E-Learning page. Please remember on the Library Databases you can read ebooks from the library’s catalog.

REMINDER: After completing your work everyday  PLEASE press share and include my email, so I can view your slides promptly. I only received 8 slides yesterday.

READING/WRITING:

Heart maps are past due, please make sure yours is on Seesaw.

All shape poems were due yesterday on Seesaw.

ELA- POETIC DEVICE: FONT AND PUNCTUATION

Watch the video below to hear the different ways we can use fonts and punctuation in poetry.  Please use a notebook to write a collection of poetry for this unit or several pieces of paper in a folder.

 

Once you have watched this lesson, take the time to think about your own poetry and come up with a creative poem that you can upload to Seesaw using the different fonts and punctuation mentioned in the video. Once on Seesaw, click the “add” button and then you will be brought to this screen:

 

 

You may decide to write it on paper and take a picture, draw it out with the texting tool, record yourself reading your poem, upload an image of the poem or type it in the note option. Then use the mic to record yourself. I can’t wait to see of your poetry work.

Poetry Websites: Read 10 minutes or so for poetry

Please complete 20 minutes of independent reading. Some of you may be finishing your fiction books. Don’t forget about Storyworks, Scholastic News, Epic and True Flix on the library databases if you need to read something else.

 

WRITING:

Also, please remember to post on your own blog  about your reading work if you haven’t done so yet. You can explain that every story has a story mountain and you can include a picture of the one you are either creating or created. Another idea would be to post a list of problems and your character’s reactions to the problems Characters Face and React to Trouble.  Another option could be to add a relationship timeline that shows positive and negative relationships to the main character. Last, maybe add your secondary character chart Secondary Character Organizer: Are they advisors, sidekicks, or challengers? Your blog post should be a reflection about what you are learning and doing as a reader. Please remember to include a picture of one of these jots. This is due tomorrow.

 

Math: Area and perimeter word problems

Complete the next two pages.  Problems #7-8 in Level 1 and then Level 2 #1-3. Copy and paste the two pages into your own slideshow to answer under math. Or print and add to slides later.

*NOTE: Please label correctly for perimeter and area

Perimeter is the distance around the shape. Many students are still labeling square units for perimeter. Also, please write answer statements to make sure you are answering the question.

Area and Perimeter Word Problems

REFLEX MATH– 3 green dots due by FRIDAY
