We are starting week 2 of distance learning. This week we are continuing our "maintenance of learning" phase. These activities should be review or ongoing practice of things we already learned this year.
Week Two Goals
In reading this week we are working on comprehension. Comprehension is talking about the books your read and sharing your ideas.In writing, we are working on revising and editing our realistic fiction books. You will want to use the revising and editing checklists every day. You might also add more to your book or even start a new realistic fiction book in your series!
In math you will continue to practice important math skills.
In science we are continuing to study light and sound waves. You might be continuing the online Mystery Science lessons or putting together some sound experiments and making observations.
In social studies we are continuing to track the weather as we transition into Spring! A new month starts this week, it will be April. Do you know what they say about April? April showers bring May flowers!
Monday's learning activities
Distance Learning Packet link- Reading - Read for 20 minutes. Talk with someone about your favorite part.
- Extension: Send me a video or a letter (take a picture and email it to me) telling me about the book and explaining your favorite part. Don't forget to tell me why it's your favorite part!
- Writing - Re-read your book. Do you have a problem and a solution? Can you add to your problem and solution to stretch them out? Write for 20 minutes.
- Math - Continue to keep your counting skills strong by filling in the missing numbers on this “Counting Grid” practice page.
- Extension: Make a number scroll. Cut a piece of paper in half the long way. Tape it to a paper towel or toilet paper tube. Start writing numbers going down the paper. When you get to the end of the paper, tape another piece of paper on and keep going. You can roll the papers up around the tube and fasten it with a rubber band when you aren't using it.
- Science -Put a rubberband around a door knob. Pull the rubber band down a bit so it is stretched. Pluck the rubberband like a guitar. What do you notice? Try pulling the rubber band a bit more or a bit less. How does the sound change? Or complete the Mystery Science Lesson 4 Can you see in the dark?
- Social Studies - Tell someone how spring is different from winter. Each day, notice the weather and fill it in on the weather graph.
Frederick by Leo Lionni
In our Zoom morning meeting today I read the book Frederick by Leo Lionni. It's one of my all time favorite books! If you missed it you can borrow it from Sora or watch someone read it on YouTube. I asked you to imagine about what Frederick was thinking about and draw it or write about it. You can print this paper, or just draw or write on another paper! If you'd like to share it with me you can take a picture of it and email it to me!
