One option is to digitally use your checklist. I have shared this document with you in your WRITING folders. You can also print the Google Doc provided and check each item off with a pencil or pen. However you complete it, be sure to share the final version of your Poetry Google Drawing with me by the end of the day.

science:
  1. For some of you Science work today is to complete the assignments that remain unfinished from the week. Also, please check for corrections and suggestions on your Google Slides. This is the first priority for Science today.
  2. The weather forecast for today is a high of 49 degrees F and a 90% chance of rain. If you are curious about how those clouds in the sky form or why it rains, then this is the experiment for you! Read the directions carefully, gather the necessary supplies and get to work on creating your own water cycle in a bag. When you are done, take a photo and upload it to SeeSaw to record your learning and share with us.

    This is my water cycle in a bag. The picture was taken this morning. I can’t wait to see yours!
  3. If you have completed all assignments, and the revisions have been made, go on a VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP! (Optional)

    Virtual Field Trip to The Weather Channel

    • Travel to Atlanta, Georgia to meet Kyle from The Discovery Channel and Mark, a Meteorologist with The Weather Channel. On this trip you will learn about Extreme Weather and see what happens behind the scenes of the shows on The Weather Channel. 
    • This is a recording of a live trip that happened several years ago, so you are not able to send questions or comments. 
    • The video is approximately 1 hour in length and very interesting! Try watching it in two parts – 30 minutes each time. Take notes on surprising facts, new weather instruments and questions you have.

ELA- READING

Please complete 30 minutes of independent reading. If you would like, check out  Storyworks, Scholastic News, Epic and True Flix on the library databases. The book, “What is a Thunderstorm?” was assigned to you on Epic. Please complete this reading. 

ELA- POETRY: google drawings

Today, poets, your job is to select your favorite poem from the last few weeks of our poetry unit. Pick one that you are proud of and want to share for our Heathcote Virtual Art and Poetry Festival. Watch the video, and create your own Google Drawing in your Writing folder of your Drive to publish your poem. 

You have both today and tomorrow to create your drawing. Please be sure that your spelling and punctuation are correct. Include your first name or your initials only. 

MATH- adding and subtracting compound units

Today we will continue to look at compound units kg and g.  You will learn a few strategies to help you add mass in kg and g or subtract g from k.  Please look closely at the different strategies mentioned in the video and decide which method works best for you. 

*Correction: Mrs. DeGrazia, in her video, states the answer to # 14b is 5kg, 450g. The correct answer is 5kg 100g.  Also, the true answer to #15 is 25kg.  Sorry for any confusion. 

You may need to write the answers on a separate piece of paper and take a picture of it, or write it on a slide.  The problems are spaced tightly together. 

science: water cycle day 3

Today’s lesson includes a book to read on Epic titled, What is a Thunderstorm?, a song to reinforce the important weather vocabulary and a really fun vocabulary game that your whole family might enjoy!
