Good Morning 3D! Today is Terrific Tuesday!

Remember to plan out your schedule for the day with breaks.  Try to plan around a 9-3 school day, so you can finish your work early. Also, use the checklist at the end of our post to make sure you completed your assignments for the day.

READING/WRITING: BOOKCLUBS ~ Theme vs Main Idea

Today as we continue our talk about theme, we discuss the difference between theme and main idea. Watch the video below and then go on over to Seesaw to look for an assignment called, “The Invisible Boy-Theme.” Watch the video and write one idea of what you think the theme of the book could be. 

Continue reading the assigned book club book amount and then pick one activity from the BINGO board to complete for today. Be sure to identify which activity you choose either by name or by number, and post your final project to Seesaw by the end of the day. 

SPELLING: WORDS THEIR WAY

Please look at your new sort for this week. Complete a few activities per day (about 15 min).  Leave the writing sort for Friday, otherwise it will erase your data.  You may have to repeat blind and speed sorts more than once to receive 100%.Check all assignments on Friday, then submit all. www.pearsonrealize.com.

MATH: Extra practice to convert liters and milliliters

Watch the first video of our two friends in 3rd grade as they demonstrate what happens when you add a container greater than a 1 liter and another container less than a liter.  It is a great visual to understand adding liters and ml. Great work girls!

Watch the video below for extra practice to convert and subtract L and ml. You will need paper and a pencil to complete the problems.

Record yourself (or add in typed text) telling us what you learned from this activity.

Smart Fact

On this day in 1891 Music Hall (Carnegie Hall) opened in New York, Tchaikovsky was the guest conductor. Tchaikovsky was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, which he bolstered with appearances as a guest conductor later in his career in Europe and the United States. One of these appearances was at the inaugural concert of Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1891. Disney’ movie, The Nutcracker and The Four Realms is a great way to enjoy Tchaikovsky’s famous score.
