E-Learning Wednesday May 13th
Good morning!
I am so excited for you all to see the new writing work that we are launching today! I know your creative minds will be thrilled with this new learning journey. We will talk more about this when we meet later. You may want to get a special notebook and sharpen your pencils because it’s going to be grand!
This morning we have a 10:30 zoom session and you have a 2:30 library broadcast with Ms. Sorensen. Have your snack before our zoom in case we stay on a little longer.
Plan a special today by visiting one of your teacher’s pages on the Heathcote Gateway. I always encourage you to do something creative as well, but I think that will come with the new writing work (I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about it!).
Planners ready? Let’s get started…
MATH: Subtraction from Meters
Today you will be learning how to subtract from meters. You will have to recall your knowledge of converting centimeters to meters and meters back to centimeters. You will also be reminded of some mental math strategies you have learned in previous units that might help you solve some of these problems. You will need a pencil and paper to complete this work.

WRITING
Writer’s today is the day you’ve been waiting for! For the first time ever, third graders are going to be writing fantasy stories. In order to do this type of writing well, there needs to be a structure that is followed. We know how creative you all can be and want this to be an awesome learning experience, so please take your time with today’s exercise in letting your mind wander. Get your pencil and notebook ready, and then watch this video.

Smart Fact
On this day in 1767 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s first opera “Apollo et Hyacinthus”, written when he was 11 years old, premiered in Salzburg. I know Mozart has been featured in the smart facts section before, but can we just stop and recognize the genius that he was, having written his first opera at age 11. He was essentially a 6th grader when he did that! The Book of Henry, Gifted and Little Man Tate are stories/movies that feature child prodigies who struggle with their gifts and their desire to lead a normal life. Perhaps suggest one for your next family movie night?
And to help you stay organized…
