Good morning!

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend with your families and spent a lot of time outdoors. The weather is certainly seeming more like spring every day! Today’s smart fact is about music, which got me to thinking: What kind of music do you like? Who do you like to listen to? Hop on over to our Discussion Starter padlet and share your thinking. 

Please check your email for the new zoom this morning and accept it so it will be added to your calendar.

We will be meeting at 10am as a whole class and then again at 1pm. You do NOT have Art with Ms. Cameron or Tech with Mr.Casal today – instead we have two zoom class sessions. 

10am and 1pm. Please bring your writing to both sessions. 

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU AT LEAST REVIEW TODAY’S WRITING LESSON BEFORE OUR 10AM ZOOM SESSION.  

Planners ready? Let’s get started…

MATH: Data Analysis Day One

• Watch the introductory video – it helps explain what is expected of you, so make sure you watch the entire video
• Complete the Seesaw Activity that has been assigned to you

WRITING: Imaginative Narrative #4 

Third-grade writers this is where it gets really interesting! Watch the introduction video and choose your seed idea carefully as you will be spending a lot of time growing this idea into a full fantasy story.

SOCIAL STUDIES: How are the 5 boroughs connected?

What’s a “borough” anyway? It’s like a smaller city within our massive metropolis. NYC has five of them—the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—each with dozens of neighborhoods lending their own local flavor. Today, please watch the introduction video to learn about the five boroughs that make up NYC.  How do we connect the boroughs?

SMART FACT

On this day in 1967 EMI Records released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” a few days early in the United Kingdom; it would go to number one for 15 weeks in the US and 22 weeks in the UK. Do you know the famous band that sang this song? I’ll give you a hint, they caused something known as The British Invasion in the U.S. If this is the first time you are hearing about The Beatles, then watch this clip to hear a little more: The Beatles Iconic Performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. 

And to help keep you organized…
