Have you done your Raz-Kids Assessment yet? Please check my How-To video here:
Week 11 of Reading Comprehension - Day 2 - Posted on Google Classroom
Read for at least 20 minutes via Raz Kids, Epic, or your choice of book. Remember our reading competition - we are at 1886 minutes of our 9000 needed for our reading party. I'm wondering if maybe we should say you need to read at least 400 minutes by yourself to be invited to the reading party because it looks like some of you aren't reading at all!
New Words Their Way words & assignments posted on Google Classroom. Tuesday’s work includes putting half of your words into sentences. Use a dictionary if you do not know what a word means and make sure you use punctuation and capital letters!
Wonder Novel Study - Listen to 15-20 minutes of the book daily.
Login to Study Ladder to complete a few tasks if there is time. I have assigned new work in regards to sentence structure and parts of speech. I have 4 students that have yet to log in. If you need the login information again, please send me an email.
MATH (1 hr):
We have now finished a unit on Addition & Subtraction and a Unit on Time. Please complete the booklet and assignments on Quizizz and Prodigy if you have not already.
Tuesday’s task involves lining up decimals so we can add and subtract, which is a carry on from our addition and subtraction unit. The slide lessons can be accessed here https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1a1gz7Tb3F_AeE-LuyF4gSbF88feOKmPke238dj-sH0g/edit?usp=sharing - I will be discussing this more at our Tuesday at 10 am Google Meets. If you cannot make Tuesday at 10 am, I will do the same session at 2 pm on Wednesday. As always, the Google Meet's code will go live shortly before 10 am from the Google Classroom stream!
Spend some time practicing on XtraMath, Prodigy, and Study Ladder!
SCIENCE (1 hr):
This week we are pulling our previous learned material together and adding on learning about communities.
Today’s task has students choosing a book from our Epic! Library which can be accessed here: https://www.getepic.com/app/user-collection/3335282?utm_source=t2t&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=collection&share=9247649589
Monday’s Task: - read about a chosen animal from the link above and complete page 9 (labelled as 27 in the bottom right corner) called “Surviving in Habitats” from your science booklet. You do not need to turn the booklet in until you are done!
Tuesday’s Task: Today we will spend some time picking a specific habitat to research about. On the Digital Classroom, you may have noticed that I have added some extra resources to the bookshelf! Take a look at the videos and then head to our Epic Adaptations library (linked above) to pick a different habitat to research. You can choose one like polar/Arctic, prairie, rainforests, underground, underwater, deserts, grasslands, tundra, etc.
Again, many supplementary books are provided in the Epic! Library for you to research from (see above for link). You will then complete page 10 & 11 of the booklet (labelled as 36/37 on the bottom right of the pages), make sure you are adding enough detail and explaining your thinking!
FLIPGRID:
I’ve provided a new grid for you entitled "Show and Tell" where you have the microphone and can share anything you want with us, as well as tell us what's going on with you! Got a talent you want to share with us? Do it there? Something neat you've learned lately? A game you want to show?
This is your stage! Have fun, but keep it school appropriate! Click on the Flipgrid link to the right to get to it.
