Writing: fantasy
Authors often learn from other writers and use specific pieces of writing as their mentor text. Today you will explore a story that will become a mentor text for us, map it out on a story mountain and look closely at the elements of fantasy writing. This is a two day assignment, as there are several parts.
- Day 1
- Day 2
- Re-read or re-listen to Paper Bag Princess if necessary
- Add your thinking to the Elements of Fantasy Padlet
- Record your first name and 3M on your jot.
- Connect your ideas to others that are similar
- Answer the reflection questions on Slide #8
math: conversions
In this lesson you will be learning how to convert time from hours to minutes and minutes to hours. You will need a pencil and paper to actively participate in the lesson and complete some of the work alongside this tutorial. There may be times you will want to watch parts of the tutorial again, as this can be challenging work.

social studies: Secondary Sources
There has been a lot of talk about primary sources the last few weeks. But what about secondary sources? Aren’t they pretty great too? Watch today’s video to explore what makes secondary sources so useful.
Complete the Task Cards project we started last week. Read each card, determine whether it is a primary or secondary source and record your answer on the Recording Sheet. Then check your answers by scanning the QR code using a smartphone camera. Show us your Recording Sheet either on your May E-Learning Slideshow or on the Seesaw assignment.
If you have your old recording sheet, feel free to just add to that one instead of starting a new one.
- Task Cards and Recording Sheet to Copy in your own E-Learning Slides **The slides have helpful hints on them. Check the slides out, even if you choose to print.**

smart Fact
On this day in 1927 Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, NY, flying the “Spirit of St. Louis” on an epic flight from New York to Paris. It was a milestone in flying aviation history. He completed the 33-hour, 30-minute flight and landed at Le Bourget Airport, Paris on the evening of 21 May. The Spirit of St. Louis is an artifact that is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Watch this video to see Charles Lindbergh’s plane being lowered to the floor of the museum to be inspected and a plan made for preservation.
