Wednesday, March 25~ ELearning

ldegrazia Math, Reading, Social Studies , , , , , ,

Please watch the video first to learn about today’s assignments:

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 options 

Yesterday’s zoom was a huge hit! I was so proud of the muted microphones and I think blocking out the video image during the lesson was key. Remember everyone is an active participant, so when we pause and practice the skill being taught, you are expected to do the same at home similar to what we do during our mini-lessons in class. Let’s continue to keep any questions for the end, and I will meet with students #6-10 tomorrow after the lesson. If someone still has a question that was not answered, you can certainly stay on and ask after our lesson.

Questions? Continue to add to our class Padlet: E-Learning Questions

Our zoom session today will be at 11 a.m. (reading lesson and going over SS lesson for today). I shared a google doc titled “Zoom Sessions with 3D” in your Social Studies Folder in your Drive with an updated link. Please have paper and a pencil ready for our reading lesson.

 

EXCITING NEWS:

Starting today join RJPalacio, author of WONDER,  while she reads live every weekday starting today from 12-12:45. Don’t have twitter? Just go to twitter.com/rjpalacio!

Reading:

I hope you were able to connect with your book club members. How does your story mountain look? Maybe you would like to post on your own blog today or some time this week and write about your reading work. 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.

Session 8 is ready for you and your book club members. Remember to continue your story mountain work. This is one way to pause, think, and jot. Everyone will be at a different spot on the mountain depending where you are in your story (beginning, middle,  or end).

Session 8(If you cannot download this—I also put it into your reading folder.)

Please listen to “Because of Winn Dixie”  chapters 18-19 after our 11am zoom session today. It is in your reading folder. You will need to listen to both chapters before our Zoom session on Thursday @11am.

It was so fun to see everyone yesterday on Zoom! Thank you for doing your job as a student on this new exciting platform.  It was obvious that you read over our Zoom etiquette to help with our learning sessions. Please continue to keep your microphones muted ( I know it is tempting to unmute to ask a question). If you have a question about the lesson, you can add it in the chat.  Please refrain from having side conversations to students in the class during a lesson because it is very distracting. Mrs. Dolma and Mrs. Gelosa will help answer chat questions along the way. I promise to also answer the questions after the lesson is complete.

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

Reading:

Today you were supposed to listen to “Because of Winn Dixie” chapters 10-12 (in your reading folder).  I sent chapters 13-15 in your reading folder last night for you to listen to by tomorrow morning.  I would like to Zoom again Tuesday at 11am to have a mini lesson on session 7, but we need to read up to chapter 15 to do this.  Please try to connect with your book club members, so you can continue the reading work that we left off from class.

Social Studies (Please wait to do this assignment after our Zoom session. I need to teach you a lesson before you do this on your own.)

We are starting a new Social Studies unit on Cultural Universals. We will be studying the five categories of universals: Politics, Social Aspects, Economics, Beliefs and Cultural Arts. During our Zoom session today we will learn more about this.

This will be a long-term project that we think you will really enjoy! All cultures, within a country and around the world, share certain ideas and ways of life, these are Cultural Universals. We may all have different types of dance, but we all dance. We may all have different ways of dressing, but we all wear clothes!

The third grade team invites you think about your life in Scarsdale. What are the ways you get from place to place, what does your family value, do you celebrate any specific holidays? Some answers you will be able to find on your own, others you will need to ask your family and some you may need to use the internet to research. Good luck!

The Google Slides called, Cultural Universals Project, has been placed in your Social Studies folder for you already. Feel free to fill it out directly on the slides (erase the lines and type your answers) or print it out to hand write the information.

I heard a lot of great explanations.  I posted comments to the students that posted already.  Please read them:) If you didn’t have a chance to do this activity please complete it by the end of the week. Continue to complete REFLEX. I am happy to report we are up to 178,787 facts solved. WOW!

Now that you have worked a lot with area, there is another way in geometry that we think about the space of a shape. That is the perimeter. The perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape. Learn about and practice perimeter with our favorite, Khan Academy. Complete all the videos and practice, which is listed on the left hand side.

SOCIAL STUDIES- HOW DO WE LEARN ABOUT HISTORY?

In the upcoming weeks we will be learning all about history and culture. Today I want to see your thoughts about the subject. In the E-Learning Slideshow, add a few pages in the Social Studies section to write your answers. The title can be, History. Put the date on the slide(s) as well.

  1. How would you define history? What does that mean if something is history?
  2. Brainstorm how we learn about history. (Don’t forget about places you can go!) Make a list.
    • Books, internet, etc…
  3. Write WHY we learn about history. Why is history important for us to learn about?
  4. BONUS: Create additional slides with any places you have been that have helped you learn about history. Feel free to include pictures from the internet or from your actual experience and writing telling us how that resource helped you learn about history.
