Good morning!

BookClubs launched successfully yesterday! I was so happy with how the breakout rooms went and look forward to seeing what you’ve posted on your padlets. I hope you are enjoying the new titles and finding ways to communicate with your group. 

Something Special: Take a look at this, you’ll want to be outside to see this later!  The Blue Angels and The Thunderbirds  will be flying over Westchester today. 

Planners ready? You have a 9:45 ART Zoom with Ms. Cameron (check your social studies folder for the link and password. We have a Zoom together at 10:30 with Ms. Stile to hear the book of the month and then we will celebrate Raiya’s birthday with her (and Camilla).  We also have a 1:00 pm zoom session with Mr. Casal. 

Please be sure to schedule a snack break for yourself and time to be creative! 

Let’s get started…

MATH: MEASURING CAPACITY IN LITERS

There are two systems that are used for measurement, a customary one used in the United States, and the metric system used in most of the world and also in the sciences in the United States.  We will continue to look at the metric system used for capacity.

Watch the video below to understand more about capacity and units of measurement; liters and milliliters

NOTE: YouTube video is not school protected so parental settings may need to be lifted:

Liters to Milliliters Video 

Watch today’s video to measure and estimate the capacity of containers in liters.  Is it less than or more than a liter?

Capacity in Liters with Mrs.DeGrazia 

• Today explore your kitchen and find containers of liquid.  Can you find containers 1 liter or more and can you find containers less than 1 liter? Post your containers and explanations on Seesaw.
• Copy and paste option: Capacity Workbook  P40
• Print option: Capacity WB pg40

SCIENCE

• Yesterday you created The Storm Spotter’s Guide and have until the end of today to complete it and post your new learning (along with a photo of the guide) on SeeSaw. 
• In addition, there are a few videos for you on Epic: two to review the Water Cycle and one to preview Weather and Climate. All of the videos are relatively short (so you can enjoy them more than once) and packed with information! 
• Raiya informed me that there is a GoNoodle about the water cycle – check it out when you can! 

POETRY

Your poems should be posted to our class Padlet for the Heathcote Art & Poetry Festival. 

Be sure to think carefully about your image as a whole, thinking about the background image/coloring/brightness and the smaller additions you’ve added to the page.  The title of your poem should be first, then your name follows starting with a capital letter.

READING

BOOK CLUBS: 

Today is Tuesday so it is a READ and Bingo Board Day. 

Participating in a virtual book club can look and feel a little different than the book clubs that you were in at school. Watch the video to see how you can still be an active participant in these new book clubs, and how much of the good book club habits you gained at school can be applied to your clubs now at home. 

Book Club Participation Video with Mrs. Mangan

Today you will continue your book club reading, as well as complete one activity from the Reading BINGO board. Be sure to complete your activity in your notebook first, and then take a picture/or video of your work to show us on Seesaw. When you record on Seesaw, tell us what book you are reading, and introduce the activity that you chose. 

READ ALOUD on SeeSaw

Photograph 2 pages (you can take a screenshot of the book you are reading on Epic) and record yourself reading to me by Friday. 

SMART FACT

On April 28, 1916, Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the car company that bears his name and is known for stylish, high-performance cars, was born in Italy. His first business was making tractors. He decided to make sports cars when the Ferrari that he owned had mechanical difficulties. The very first Lamborghini 350 GTV was released in 1963 and the company’s logo was established as a bull. Take this logo quiz to see how many companies you can easily recognize. 

See you all at 10:30!
