E-Learning Thursday May 7th
Good morning!
I hope you all enjoyed Wellness Wednesday! I started my day as I do so many, with a cup of coffee and SeeSaw. Listening to you all share your work, (math experiments, reading, solar cookers, bingo board activities) really is the best way to start the day. Please check SeeSaw to see if you owe any work and be sure to add that to your to-do list.
Today we have two small group zooms, this is not optional so please plan on attending one of the sessions. We will be discussing BookClubs (no breakout rooms, just a general discussion) and sharing as we always do. The first session is at 10am and the second one is at 11am. There is also a library broadcast zoom with Ms. Sorensen at 2:30.
Please be sure to schedule a snack and some time to be creative today!
Daily planners ready? Let’s get started…
MATH
Adding and Subtracting Liters and milliliters (Part 1) using various strategies
Watch this video below. Make sure you have a pencil and paper handy so that you may work alongside the video. At times, you will be asked to “pause” the video to think through an idea or “pause” the video to work through the problem to arrive at your next step or solution. If your answer does not match the solution on the video, you may want to watch that portion again to see what your misunderstanding was.

SCIENCE
This lesson focuses on the movement of the Earth around the sun (it’s orbit) and how that affects the changing seasons. Watch the video below so that you will know the steps involved to be successful with this learning opportunity.
BookClubs
Theme with Bingo Board
Today you will be diving deeper into one of the Bingo board activities that focuses on theme. Watch the video and if you would like, choose activity #17 to connect your book club book theme to other books, movies and t.v. shows with the same theme.
Day 3 Video on Theme with Mrs. Mangan
If you choose a different Bingo board activity for today, just be sure to pick something different than what you have chosen before. Post your final product to Seesaw, explaining which book you are reading and identify the name and number of the activity you completed.
WTW due Friday
READ to me on SeeSaw due Friday
SMART FACT
On this day in 1846 first printed copies of “Poems” by Emily, Charlotte, and Anne Brontë, were published under pseudonyms (pen name) of Acton, Currer, and Ellis Bell. Women often had to write using a man’s name because it wasn’t considered proper for a woman to be working in the world of literature. Even the wildly popular Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was asked to NOT use her name, Joanne Rowling, but instead her initials to attract more male readers. Check out this website to learn about J.K. Rowling’s other pen name and books that she published using that name.
Weinberg Nature Center Special Events:
Sam Weinstock, the naturalist at Weinberg Nature Center, has organized a weekly Virtual Field Trip for K-5 students. The webinar is designed to enrich your passion for the natural world and the animals that live within it. Each week, a different animal group will be observed.
Take a look at this schedule to get the links for these special events (it is also in your science folder).
