Good Morning 3D!

Please watch the video first, then read the post more carefully for details.

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

Visit Dr Schultz’s google classroom for her new assignment: Let’s Learn about the Viola

 

REMINDER: After completing your work everyday  PLEASE press share and include my email (ldegrazia@scarsdaleschools.org) , so I can review and comment on your slides promptly.

ZOOM SESSIONS for the week: I included them on our chart in your SS folder (zoom sessions for 3D) with the provided links. Please review them to plan for the week. We will also take attendance. A new feature of a virtual waiting room will be implemented to protect our meetings. 

Today’s zoom session include our whole class @ 11am and library with Ms. Sorensen @2pm

Let’s celebrate Zain the first 10 minutes today at 11am. Come with a joke and we will have time for 5 students to share ~ then we will review our science work.

I will pull a small group after today’s session: #10, 12, 13, 14, 15 today.

SCIENCE: WEATHER AND CLIMATE

Please watch Mrs. Boyer’s video as she outlines your science work for today.

HERE ARE WRITTEN STEPS TO HELP YOU TOO:

  1. Continue recording the weather in your weather journal. Either print out the journal from your science folder or use this link (Weather Journal) to do it digitally. Your choice!
  2. Read the headings “The Daily Forecast” and “The Importance of Weather Forecasts” in the PebbleGo Next article that you started yesterday: Forecasting Weather. (If this link does not work for you, try going to the library databases, clicking on PebbleGo Next and searching, “Forecasting Weather” to get to the article.)
  3. Scientists collect data and use sophisticated equipment to predict the weather. Read this to learn how animal behaviors and nature can be good predictors of weather too! National Geographic for Kids: Predict the Weather

Complete the Stop and Think questions. Copy and paste the last three slides into the Science section of your April E-Learning Slideshow and answer the questions using details from your reading.

Heathcote Community Service Project – Show them WE CARE!

We would like to welcome all our 3rd grade friends and family to extend our deepest gratitude to those working hard to save lives at our local White Plains Hospital!

Your small gesture will bring smiles to all those working hard to help others in need!  

Here’s how you can participate:

This week from April 10th – April 17th, you can create a special handmade drawing, painting, or sketch for all the care providers at White Plains Hospital.

When completed, place it in a ziplock bag and drop your creation off at 51 Lawrence Road. There will be a donation bin located at the front door.

 

Ongoing Project – COVID-19 Time Capsule

One activity that many students completed during “Wellness Week” was a COVID – 19 Time Capsule. If you didn’t, here is a great opportunity to reflect over how this historical event is impacting you. We are living through history and during times like these, it might be interesting to take notes about your experience and reflect on what you are going through so that years from now, you can look back on this time capsule and realize you have experienced a very historic moment in our world’s history!

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 hear all the beautiful poems you will be writing!

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 Friday.
