Good morning! 

“Try something new Thursday” was a great success! I’ve learned to use the breakout rooms on Zoom and we will be trying them out on Monday. What about you? What did you try? How did it work out? 

Mrs. Schilo had shared that she tried going on a few virtual Disney rides with her son and loved it! She shared a list of rides that is now in your social studies folder. Try them out and let us know what happens. 

This morning you have a 10am Zoom with Mr. Borgia.  Have fun and don’t be late! 

Let’s get started…

MATH:

• Mass and Weight ~ compound units  VIDEO with Mrs. DeGrazia
• Mass & Weight Workbook page 17 is in your math folder 

Today in the video you will learn you can weigh objects in compound units, kilograms, and grams. You will see examples of enlarged scales and discuss the value of each unlabeled mark. This video will help you understand how to read different weighing scales. Also, you will look at a balance scale instead of a weighing scale to measure the mass of an object.

Below visit Thinking Blocks to revisit bar modeling strategies. You can select a model to challenge yourself to different word problems. Read the word problems, label the bars, create the actual bar models and solve the answer.  This great website guides you and gives you hints along the way to be successful in solving word problems by drawing a bar model.

SCIENCE:

• This lesson is all about Data Analysis. Looking at the information you recorded this week on your weather journal and comparing it to the professional forecast. You will need your completed weather journal to do this work. 
• Copy and past these Stop and Think questions to your E-Learning Slides, answer in complete sentences with details. 
• The full slide presentation is in your science folder. 

POETRY

Video: Poetry Centers Video with Mrs. Mangan

Enjoy exploring poetry in a different way today! Get inspired by a beautiful piece of poetry and create some art that shows what you see in your mind. Or go outside and find something that inspires you in nature to be descriptive and create your own poetry. Please complete at least one of these activities today. Post a picture of your artwork or nature item on SeeSaw, and then use the microphone to read aloud the poem to go with it. 

READING:

• Independent Reading: Read for 30 minutes. TrueFlix, a physical book, Scholastic, or even an audiobook.
• Choose two pages to photograph and read to me on SeeSaw – this is due today.
• You can also choose to read from the collections I’ve shared with you on Epic. 

SMART FACT

On this day in the year 1964, The Ford Motor Co. unveiled its new Mustang model at the New York World’s Fair. The Mustang was championed by Ford Division general manager Lee Iacocca, with a suggested retail price of $2,368. The car was a great success and sold over one million cars in its first 18 months. In the Disney movie Tomorrowland (have you seen it?, if you haven’t you should!), there’s a 10-minute prologue set at The New York World’s Fair 1964  that was held in Queens, NY that year. 

Have a great day!
