Good morning! 

Daily planner ready to go? There’s a great day of learning ahead so sharpen your pencil and prepare to plan for an awesome day! I’m especially looking forward to seeing you all at 11:30 to talk book clubs. Please have a notebook with you that you will be using for bookclub writing. One of the goals for clubs is to get back to really deep conversations around characters and good stories and that will require you to be writing about your reading. Any notebook will do, and if you are planning to get one or even make one this weekend that’s great too! 

You have a live game for Spanish this morning at 9:30am and Instrumental music with MrWeber at 10am. Check your schedule for the links. We have our zoom session at 11:30am. Don’t be late! 

Let’s get started…

MATH

In this lesson, you will see the importance of reading a word problem carefully, drawing and labeling the known and unknown information, and then adding or subtracting kilograms and grams.

SCIENCE 

Virtual Field Trip to The Weather Channel

• Travel to Atlanta, Georgia to meet Kyle from The Discovery Channel and Mark, a Meteorologist with The Weather Channel. On this trip, you will learn about Extreme Weather and see what happens behind the scenes of the shows on The Weather Channel. 
• This is a recording of a live trip that happened several years ago, so you are not able to send questions or comments. 
• The video is approximately 1 hour in length and very interesting! Try watching it in two parts – 30 minutes each time. Take notes on surprising facts, new weather instruments, and questions you have. 

WEATHER EXPERIMENT

The weather forecast for today is a high of 49 degrees F and a 90% chance of rain. If you are curious about how those clouds in the sky form or why it rains, then this is the experiment for you! Read the directions carefully, gather the necessary supplies, and get to work on creating your own water cycle in a bag. When you are done, take a photo and upload it to SeeSaw to record your learning and share it with us.

POETRY 

Video with Mrs. Mangan In this video, Mrs. Mangan will take you through a checklist to be sure you are 100% ready to publish for the Poetry Festival

Poetry Checklist for you to print

Poetry Checklist on slides 

Please complete the checklist today before you share the final version of your Google Drawing/Poem. Be sure to “check off” each item as it is completed. You have two options today. One option is to digitally use your checklist. I have shared this document with you in your WRITING folders. You can also print the Google Doc provided and check each item off with a pencil or pen. However, you complete it, be sure to share the final version of your poem with me by the end of the day.
