Good Morning! Thanks for meeting yesterday. It feels so good to see your faces and hear your voices. I am grateful for that opportunity.
Morning Work – I hope you will start your learning day by completing your weather graph, noting the temperature on the section of the graph you color in and the type of cloud you see. Use the symbols on the cloud finder as labels.
Stop to put your gratefulness rock in your pocket. Think of two new things you are grateful for as your day begins. Then check out each others’ blogs and leave a comment or two.
Keep up with independent reading suggestions by checking out all of the daily reading comments you’ve all been leaving.
Morning Meeting– Happy Gratitude Tuesday! Listen to The Gratitude Jar by Kristin Wiens. Find a container and make your own Gratitude Jar. (I’m using a yogurt container.) When things aren’t going well, it’s important to have some way of reminding ourselves that we can get through this! Leave the jar plain or decorate it to match your personality. The important thing is to make some strips of paper and to write something each day to add to your jar. If you’d like to share your jar – please do by taking a picture and posting it on your blog.
Take a break, get a snack and move around. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos here to dance to Roar and here, breathe and grow confident.
Reading, Writing, Science and Art
Shared Reading – Today you’ll be working to finish your concept map about weather. But first let’s start with a new poem:
Weather ~ by Meish Goldish
Weather is hot, Next listen to
Weather is cold, Clouds by Ann Rockwell
Weather is changing You may want to
As the weeks unfold. add the cloud
Skies are cloudy, information to your
Skies are fair, concept map.
Skies are changing
In the air.
It is raining,
It is snowing,
It is windy
With breezes blowing.
Days are foggy,
Days are clear,
Weather is changing
Throughout the year!
When you finish your weather concept map, take a picture of it to post on your blog or send to me in an email. We’ll use it tomorrow when we write.
Take a break, go outside, run around, make a Paper Ball Bunny, play a game, make some art.
Reading – Find a nice quiet place to read and enjoy at least 30 minutes with a great book. If you’re wishing for some new book/reading options you can find some fabulous picture book recordings at Storyline Online and recorded books here at Audible. The Elementary selections look great. Enjoy!
At the end of reading today, choose two or three things from the Book Talk Questions grid when you leave a comment about what you read today on the blog.
Go outside, have some lunch, play a game, practice your recorder. Relax.
Inquiry Workshop – Social Studies – Our goal is to have the travel journal (magazine) pages completed by the end of March – that’s Tuesday. I’ve now heard from 7 of you that you are done with your Travel Journal. Congratulations! 🗿🏯⛩🌋I hope to hear from more of you today.
Math – How about some chocolate for the first part of our math warm up? Here are four pictures of chocolate. Without telling us which picture you selected, please create a blog post sharing the four equations in the fact family represented by the box you chose. After, that write one story problem that would fit with one of the equations in the family.
Here is an example of the math I hope to see on your blog post. My example matches this picture of eggs and not any of the chocolate choices you have. I didn’t want to do the work for you. 😁
My fact family is:
2×3=6
3×2=6
6÷3=2
6÷2=3
My math story problem is: Vera had 6 eggs. She wanted to dye them equally in three different colors: pink, green and blue. How many eggs of each color could she dye.
Complete this Fact Families and More worksheet to help you have even more practice with fact families in the second part of the math warm up.
If you’d like to create some of your own Fact Family Triangles, you can get them here.
Next, here are today’s problems to choose from. See if there are two that feel like just right challenges. You can solve them in your journal or on a piece of paper. It would be most helpful to put the color and the date the problem was posted. Thanks!
