Be respectful of your friends - if you have a question, you can raise your hand and I can see and call on you, or you can type your question into the right-hand side if you aren't sharing your video.
Make sure your microphone is muted so we can't hear what is going on in the background! We ALL can hear you otherwise - same with anything you type into the comment/question section. If you have something private to share/ask - please do it on Google Hangouts.
Lastly, make sure if you have questions - you write them down and/or bring the materials to show - it was great today when Rae-E and Norocos were able to share the pages. If you aren't printing things off, just being able to say - This is from Page 10 of the math booklet, or this is from the Rough Draft of the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie assignment also helps :)

I've posted a few labs you can complete this week if you have the materials. It is on Google Classroom.
I will also be posting some cool Tynker Light lessons too. In order for you to be ready to do the coding part, you need to work through at least 3 tasks on Tynker - see the coding lessons on Google Classroom and pick and choose which ones you want to do. If your device doesn't allow Tynker - that is okay too! You can watch the videos I am posting to Google Classroom instead.

Thursday, April 9th Remote Learning Work
Happy Thursday and Happy Save the Rainforest Day! It's a campout day, set up a tent, build a fort, and read about rainforests!
Remember - tomorrow is a holiday... so I will see you on Monday!
Kami How to Video for your iPad: Click here
Remember, you can always print out what I send, write it down on paper, or use Kami - It is up to you ;) - Check out the video under language for more help on how to use Kami ;)
LANGUAGE:
1. Read the Rainforest Calling Reading Comprehension Story - I have posted to Google Classroom for you. There are some questions you can answer after. Your parents have the answer key for you to check to see if you are right! (You do not have to hand anything into me, this is for your own practice!)
2. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie - Your planning sheets are to be worked on today. You are going to start creating your story!
Step 1: Decide a title for your story - remember to use alliteration like you learned yesterday!
Step 2: Start thinking about cause and effect - remember it all needs to make sense! Go back and look at the previous day's lessons to refresh your memory. You can also re-watch the read alouds too!
If you give a Cat a Cupcake - she is going to think of something related - you can start thinking about anything that is related to cupcakes and brainstorm:
Related to Cupcakes --> BIRTHDAYS! They are related to cupcakes!
--> Being thirsty - that's related to cupcakes, maybe she needs a drink!
--> Baking! - Baking cupcakes reminds her of baking pies - Apple Pies!
***Make sure it makes sense --> Cupcakes likely doesn't remind her of a turtle - what is the connection there?
***Remember - the beginning loops back to the ending.

SCIENCE:
I have a Forest Bill Nye for you today! Because we all love Bill Nye! Maybe you can watch this as your are "Camping" if you set up a tent or building a fort (make sure you ask your parents first!)
