E-Learning Wednesday March 25th
Good morning! What a great birthday Zoom yesterday – I loved seeing all of your treasures Trevor! Thank you for sharing.
My fabulous third graders, when you are making your plan for today, be sure to build in recess and several mental breaks. Have a set snack time and do something (unplugged) that makes you smile! Are you fixing your own snacks? What are some of your recent favorites? I’ve been loving mini cranberry muffins with tea.
Today’s assignments include a math video by Mrs. Luciano and a special guest read aloud. I hope you enjoy all of these unique learning opportunities!
Math: Area of a Rectangle: Follow along as Mrs. Luciano explains how to calculate area using an open array
Optional: Fun Math Puzzle Challenge(Put in E-Learning Slides this week)
Reflex – Have you been keeping up on your math facts practice? Give it a try when you can.
Reading: Special Guest Read Aloud Get your notebook and pencil ready and be prepared for a treat! This could be fun to listen to with a sibling.
- Your turn to read to me (if you haven’t already) – on SeeSaw, take a picture of the 2 pages you will be reading, then choose the record button to record yourself reading aloud. Please be sure to add a text box telling me what you are reading.
- Read for 30 minutes – that can be your own independent book, a book on epic, or Scholastic (Storyworks Jr or the regular Scholastic Magazine), TrueFlix or even listen to a book on Tales2Go (directions and passwords are in your library folder on Drive)
- Words Their Way
- SeeSaw – check the Activities tab for the secondary characters chart if you haven’t completed this already
Social Studies: CULTURAL UNIVERSALS OF SCARSDALE (CLASS ZOOM LESSON @ 10:30)
Be sure you have something to write with and either paper or a notebook for our Zoom lesson.
Our new social studies unit will be about Cultural Universals. What that means is that all cultures, within a country and around the world, share certain ideas and ways of life. Universal means that it’s something that we all have in common. We may all have different types of dance, but we all dance. We may all have different ways of dressing, but we all wear clothes!
The Google Slides called, Cultural Universals Project, has been placed in your Social Studies folder for you already. After we have our Zoom lesson this morning, you can fill it out directly on the slides or print it out to handwrite the information. This will be due on Friday.
Get ready for Author RJ Palacio – Starting today she will be reading her book, Wonder, live on Twitter every day from 12:00-12:45. I can’t wait!
Handwriting – something to work on when you have the time
Below is a link to a presentation slideshow. Click on the link and you can print out the pages for practice on cursive handwriting. Remember, best posture and relax your hand grip!
