E-Learning Thursday April 23rd
Good morning!
I’m hoping that you are reading this blog post with your daily planner next to you, ready to make your plan for today. Also, be sure to look back over the past week and complete any work or post any work that you haven’t. At the top of your daily planner, write “Check Email”, this is something that will be helpful to do as I might be sharing additional information with you via email. If you have any questions, you can also email me.
Be sure to include a snack break and time to be creative in your day as well.
Today there are two small group Zoom sessions scheduled. One at 10am and the other at 11am. These are not optional, you are required to attend one of them. We will be discussing the poetry festival and answering your science questions this morning. I’m looking forward to seeing you all later!
Let’s get started…
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.
NOTE: If regrouping while subtracting is difficult for you, please continue to practice this skill separately. Maybe practice subtraction problems without the units ahead of time. For ex, 127-38 or 456- 76. It is important to understand the renaming process.

POETRY
Heathcote Art & Poetry Festival
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 below, and create your own Google Drawing in your writing folder of your Drive to publish your poem. Eli has also created a tutorial that is now posted on our Student Resources page.
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.

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 by Friday (as of this morning I’ve only heard from 6 of you)
- You can also choose to read from the collections I’ve shared with you on Epic.
A special read-aloud event is Monday’s With Me by Michele Obama. She will be reading live on Mondays at noon. You can see yesterday’s read aloud and future ones here on PBS KIDS
See you all later!
