Good morning!

 I am declaring today  TRY SOMETHING NEW THURSDAY. I’m wondering how many of you have visited the MakerSpace page on this blog? Or the Poetry Centers? When you are done with your assignments for today, why don’t you give it a try? You might find something fascinating there. Or perhaps you’d like to explore the surface of Mars? It’s out of this world! 

When planning your day today, be sure to make time for a snack. Do you make your own snack? If not, then try something new and make a snack for yourself. Let me know how it turns out on SeeSaw. We have two Zoom sessions scheduled for today, one at 10am and the other at 11am. Please join one session and bring your questions or something cool to share. 

Time to get started…

MATH

Video with Mrs. Luciano

Your Math Workbook pages are in your math folder or you can print the pages if that works best for you.

Workbook pages 15-16 to be printed

This is a lesson on word problems using gram units. You will be expected to draw a bar model, label it correctly with all parts (known and unknown information) and then solve for it. The examples are provided for you in the lesson and then one problem from your workbook pages is solved so you. Use that as a model to help you. 

• An optional assignment for the rest of the week is this fun BrainPOP Jr. video and quizzes. If you would like to check it out it has been assigned to you when you log into BrainPOP. Here is the link to the assignment: Grams and Kilograms Assignment
