Good morning!

I’m really excited for you to see the day we have planned today! Mrs. Mangan will have you searching for artifacts that tell your story (this is really cool!). Writing is an exercise in communication – studying the details of communication to grow your writing. And Math is all about telling time, which is so very important to know how to do!  

This morning we have our Birthday Celebration Zoom for Jacinta and Cindy at 11:30am and we will meet again at 1pm with Mr. Casal. Both of these zoom session links were emailed to you and should be in your calendars by now. 

Planner’s ready? Let’s get started…

MATH: Elapsed Time

Watch the video below to learn about elapsed time. Elapsed time is the amount of time that passes from the beginning of an event to its end. You will find the duration of a time interval using a clock face and a timeline as a tool. Timelines are a way to visualize what is happening as the hour and minute hands move around the clock face. You will also understand elapsed time better when going from A.M. to P.M. or from P.M. to A.M 

Elapsed Time Video with Mrs. DeGrazia

On workbook page 118 you may need extra space to make a timeline to help you visualize the amount of time that has passed.

Copy and paste: WB 117-118 – these are also in your math folder 

Print option: Time WB117-118

Extra Elapsed Time Practice and Games:

• Khan Academy–Time
• Time Hunter (choose the elapsed time option)
• Math Pacman- Elapsed Time (need flash)

2. Collect at least one:
   1. Photograph
   2. Document
   3. Artifact 
3. Bring these items to share at tomorrow’s Zoom

WRITING 

You don’t always need a long time to tell a great story. Today we are looking at a few Disney animated shorts to study how much detail can be packed into just a few minutes. Watch these films and think about the communication that is happening in each one. How are the characters communicating with one another? How do we know? Think body language, facial expressions, sounds (how might you describe this sound?). How can this help to inform your fantasy writing?

Watch the Introductory Video to learn how to get started on this learning opportunity.  

The Blue Umbrella 

For The Birds

Presto

Also, think back to Lou and LaLuna

Pixar Study Slides – these are also in your writing folder

SMART FACT

On this day in 2007 United States, treasure hunters discovered a shipwreck off the coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The ship had a record haul of over $500 million worth of gold and silver. A shipwreck expert guessed that the wreck was that of the Merchant Royal that sank in 1642 off the Islands of Scilly. Treasure hunters travel far and wide to find what they are looking for. Nicholas Cage plays Ben Gates, a historian and treasure hunter in the movie National Treasure. It’s worth watching and so good, they made three!  

And to help you stay organized…
