Hello Third Graders!

I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to share with you some activities you can do while we are out of school. I will begin posting activities on Monday, March 16th. 

For all of the activities you can record your work in a Google Slideshow that was shared with you and placed in your Social Studies folder on Google Drive. This slideshow is called, E-Learning Slideshow.

In that slideshow you will see that it is separated by subject area. As you complete an activity, record your thinking in that area. Add new slides when you need to.

If access to a computer is challenging, or you would prefer to hand write your work, feel free to print out the activities and keep your work in a folder. 

If logging into any websites gives you trouble, remember to go through the Heathcote Gateway. Mr. Casal has given you directions and links to many resources that can be helpful during this time outside of the classroom.

If you have any questions about the activities over the next few days please use Padlet to get in touch with me. Here is the Padlet link to ask your question. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi 3M! I hope you enjoy checking out some of the activities I have come up with for today. Remember to record your thinking by printing out the work and saving it in a folder, or record your thinking by adding to the Google Slideshow in your Social Studies Folder in your drive named, E-Learning Slideshow.

Make sure you sign up for the different online tools we can use throughout our time outside of the classroom. There are instructions below. If you have any other questions post them to the E-Learning Questions Padlet

You can complete the activities any time during the day that works for you and your family. I know that being able to access a computer or other device might be challenging with your family at home right now. Also, just like in class, everyone works at a different pace and finishes tasks at a different time. If you are a fast finisher and feel like you need additional activities, don’t forget to use the Useful Websites tab of my blog.

ELA: Literary Essays

Join my class for Epic! Epic is a website that has read alouds, audiobooks and videos. Enjoy! 

Need a little more challenge? Write a literary essay about one of the characters from the book you read. (Or anything you’ve read these past few days.) Remember these guidelines as you write.

  • Paragraph 1:
    • Introduce Book and Author
    • Clearly state your claim
  • Paragraph 2:
    • Lead into your evidence: (One part of the story when…, One example of when…, In the beginning of the story _____ was _______ when…, etc.)
    • Give your text evidence (Paraphrase or use exact quotation)
    • Explain WHY your evidence matters: (This shows, this explains why, In other words, etc.)
  • Paragraph 3: Repeat Paragraph 2 but with your second piece of text evidence
  • Paragraph 4: Repeat Paragraph 2 but with your third piece of text evidence
  • Paragraph 5: Conclusion
    • Restate your claim
    • Explain what the character or the reader learns. What can we take away from reading this text?

Show off your amazing essay by either printing it/writing it in a notebook and bringing it to school when we see each other next, or add it to the ELA section of the E-Learning Slideshow. 

Social Studies: Analyzing Artifacts

Photograph Analysis 

Looking at pictures is one way we can learn about history. Click on the link above to see a picture of Colonial America. Look closely at the picture and think deeply about what you can infer about life at that time. 

To record your answers, type into the E-Learning Slideshow saved in your social studies folder OR print the analysis sheet out to write down your ideas. If you choose to use the slideshow, you can name the slide, “Colonial America” and put today’s date.
