Our Day ~ Wednesday, May 6

May 6, 2020 Mrs. Eaves Remote Learning

Good Morning! It was wonderful to see so many of you on the parade route. I was so glad to see you in person. Wow, do I miss you!💗💕🙌🏼 Estella’s home! 🎉🎉💕💗

Morning Work – Start off your learning day by picking up your gratitude rock and thinking of something new to add to your Gratitude Jar. I don’t know if you are keeping up with this practice, but I hope so. Taking a moment to count our blessings makes us happier. One smile spreads!😀

Take some time to read each others blogs and leave a comment or two. Your comments are compliments to encourage your classmates. Thanks for staying connected!

Morning Meeting– Today we’ll read City Mouse, Country Mouse. (I love the illustrations. Think of how detailed each one is! Can you imagine how much time it took to create each scene?). Think about how having caring, cooperation and courage allows the two mice to experience different opportunities, learn from one another and grow. Friendship is a gift. Choose a new sentence stems from Dan Rockwell:

You’re making progress on…
You encourage others when …
Great effort when you…

Use it to leave a compliment to the mice in comment section. It might seem funny to encourage book characters, but practice makes progress. Are you trying to be more encouraging to your family? I hope your habit of encouraging grows and grows.

Take a break, get a snack and move around. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos: move to Lines and Angles (this goes with math too. 😃Watch, and move with it ~ it could help you with our geometry work during math) and relax and reflect with Make Someone Happy.

Science and Reading

Shared Reading – Now more about force and motion. Here’s today’s poem and a song called Motion is sung to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb:

Gravity by Joyce Sidman. Listen to Newton and Me and add to

Think of the Earth your understanding of force

as a mama and motion in everyday life.

Motion by C. DeCarbo

Motion happens every day

When we work, and when we play

Push and pull are forces used

To make an object move.

Take a break, go outside, run around, sing, play a game, make some art.

At the end of reading, 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.

Writer’s Workshop – Over the next several days we will work, little by little, to craft the mysteries you planned last week in Google Classroom. Use all that you’ve learned by listening and reading mysteries create your own. The new assignment today is about creating the middle of you mystery.

If you’re ready for a new writing idea, here are today’s Quick Writes. They are from Thought Co:

Be a Friend. What does it mean to be a good friend?

Growing Up or Down. Would you rather be older than you are right now or younger? Why?

Best Pets. Which animal makes the best pet? Give at least three reasons for your opinion.

School Favorites. What do you think is the best subject in school? What makes it the best?

What’s in a Name? If you could change your name, what would you choose and why?

Other – any topic you’d like to write about

Math – We have been learning about quadrilaterals. They all have 4 sides and 4 corners. Look beyond those facts. Using the pictures below as your guide, create a blog post and list at least 4 attributes that are shared by all squares, all parallelograms, and all trapezoids. This word bank can help. If you’re not sure what to do, look back at the April 28th post to see the example about rectangles.

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!

Piper had 3,500 Legos altogether in a bin.

She used 154 red bricks, 437 white bricks and 594 blue bricks to build her Hank Town.

How many Lego bricks did Piper use altogether to build her Hank Town?

How many Legos did she have left in the bin?

Holden collected stones at the beach. He was using them to build a fort.

He found 2,332 white stones. He found 1,564 brown stones and he found 1,816 speckled stones.

How many stones did Holden find altogether at the beach?

The next day he collected half as many stones as he had started with. That was enough to finish the fort.

How many stones did Holden collect the second day to finish his fort?

Van went for a hike. He collected food for animal.

He found 1,235 acorns, 456 pinecones and 387 red berries.

How many things did Van collect altogether during his hike?

He put the food in a pile at the edge of the forest. When he went back the next day, the animals had eaten half of what Van had collected.

How much food did the animals eat in one day?

Max had 145 mini cookies.

He ate 23 of them at snack. 16 of them got crushed.

How many cookies did Max have left to eat at lunchtime?

Sophie was building with Legos. She had 5,105 bricks in a bin when she started building.

When she was finished there were 1,323 bricks left.

How many Legos did Sophie use while she was building?

1,250 of the bricks she built with were blue and the rest were yellow. How many yellow bricks did Sophie use?

Landin collected shells on the beach. She found 356 white shells, 371 yellow shells and 119 speckled shells.

How many shells did Landin find altogether?

She used 465 of her shells to decorate presents for her family.

How many shells did Landin have left?

If you’ve worked through that, it’s definitely time for a game here at ABCya. Find a way to keep practicing your math facts in all four operations.

UA’s for today…

Spanish ~ I know Señora Murphy has posted some new lessons for you to explore.

Library ~ there are lots of great resources there.

I hope you had a Wonderful Wednesday!

Thanks for all you do and the fun you share! Thanks for encouraging each other!

You make a difference every day!

🌸🌺🌱☀️🙌🏼 You are wonderful!

Our Day – Tuesday May 5

May 5, 2020 Mrs. Eaves Remote Learning

Good Morning! I know Mrs. Snyder said that there would be no new work assigned today, but it seems like we are in the middle or just starting several things. So here is today’s post. Do what you can. I will not be at my computer as much as usual this morning. Be patient, there will be wait time between questions and comments today.

Morning Work – Start off your learning day by picking up your gratitude rock and thinking of something new to add to your Gratitude Jar. Remember, if you can’t think of something to add today, take out your strips and read what you’ve already collected. I hope that makes you feel happier.

Take some time to read each others blogs and leave a comment or two. Your comments are encouraging compliments for your classmates. 🌸🌺🌼 Thanks for staying connected!

Morning Meeting– Today we’ll read Let the Children March. Think about how the courage of those children and their families changed the world. We’ll continue to practice helping others feel more courageous by offering supportive words. Choose a different sentence stem written by Dan Rockwell:

You’re great at…
Thank you for… (be specific)
I’m impressed with

Use the sentence stem at the beginning of the compliment you leave to those children in comment section. It might seem odd to show appreciation to book characters, but practice makes progress. I hope by practicing your habit of encouraging others will grow and grow.

Take a break, get a snack and move around. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos: move to Pop See Ko and practice with How to Spin a Basketball on Your Finger.

Science and Reading

Shared Reading – We’ll continue to learn more about force. We’ll begin by sharing a new poem.

Friction by Sara Holbrook

Speed bumps in the parking lot.

Gravel under my wheel.

Brakes on a subway train For the Hopper Popper

screeching out a squeal. I used recycled cardboard

My eraser tearing at paper. from a popsicle box and it worked.

My father’s weekend beard

on Monday pulling at his razor.

A thumb against a finger

when it makes a snapping sound.

Whatever takes off in a hurry,

Friction slows it down.

Today you’ll watch the first Invisible Forces Mystery to explore balanced and unbalanced forces. It is called, “How could you win a tug-of-war against a bunch of adults?” The video is about 20 minutes long. (The watermelon section is wild!) There is an activity at the end. I hope you’ll be able to do it. It does take about 45 minutes, so do it when you have time. It’s fun! It’s helpful to print these guides, but not essential.

Here is the Make-It image if you can’t print it out. The cardboard rectangle is 3″x6″. Lines A and C on the make is guide are 3/4 of an inch from each end. Line B is at 3″.

Make It – Launch Pad

High Hop Scorecard

Ask for some help to gather the supplies and to do the final “hopping” step. Later yesterday, after our Zoom chat, I realized I could cut the “too strong” elastic in half. It worked when I made it thinner. You can do that too.

At the end of “hopping” step, Doug suggests that you may want to make some modifications to see if you can make your Hopper Popper go even higher. That’s an option. Here are some Tips for Modifications if you need them.

In the activity section of the video, it offers a mid-way stopping point if you don’t have time. You decide do it all at once or, start today and finish tomorrow.

As you’re working with your popper, think about where the pushes and pulls are and when they are strongest.

It would be really cool if you could share a picture or video of your popper hopping. 😃

Take a break, go outside, run around, sing, play a game, make some art.

At the end of reading, 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.

Writer’s Workshop – Over the next several days we’ll work, little by little, to craft the mysteries you planned last week. Go to our Google Classroom, review the lead you wrote yesterday. You may want to revise it with the feedback you received. Next open the assignment: 2. Writing a Mystery ~ developing the beginning. Follow the directions you find there to keep developing your mystery.

If you’d like a new writing idea, here are today’s Quick Writes. They come from ThoughtCo.:

Snappy Travel. Imagine you could snap your fingers and be anywhere else in the world. Write about where you’d go.

Perfect Party. Describe what the ultimate birthday party would look like if you could do anything you wanted.

Kindness Counts. You’re given $100 to do random acts of kindness for others. What do you do?

Book Bound. If you could be the main character from your favorite book, who would you be? Write about an adventure you might have.

Lost. Have you ever been lost? Write about your experience.

Other – a topic of your choosing

Math Workshop – I notice from looking at the work shared, there is still some confusion about parallel lines and parallelograms. The picture below shows a set of parallel lines. No matter how long they are, they will always be equally apart. They will never cross.

The middle set are intersecting lines. If the lines continue they will eventually cross. The last set of lines are perpendicular. The cross and make right angles.

A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape where both sets of opposite sides are parallel. Rectangles, squares and rhombuses are all ALSO parallelograms.

Let’s practice some more with Types of Quadrilaterals and Naming and Labeling Quadrilaterals

Justin was building with Legos. He used 342 Lego to make a car, 657 to make a garage and 574 to make a house.

How many Legos did Justin use altogether while he was building?

He decided to make four more cars that were exactly like the first one. How many Legos did he use to make those four cars?

Max has 21,850 crayons. Elena has 17,039 crayons.

How many more crayons does Max have than Elena has?

Sophie has 2,258 more crayons than Elena has.

How many crayons does Sophie have?

If Max, Elena and Sophie put their crayons altogether, how many crayons will that be?

Piper has 10,000 balloons in total. 2,126 of the balloon are blue. 3,486 are red. 2,029 are green. The rest of the balloons are yellow.

How many of the balloons are yellow?

600 of those yellow balloons are star shaped.

The rest are round.

How many round, yellow balloons does Piper have?

Landon baked 115 muffins.

Katherine baked 4 times as many. How many muffins did Katherine bake?

Katherine baked some blueberry muffins and some apple muffins.

If 200 of Katherine’s muffins were blueberry, how many of them were apple?

Javey had 212 Legos. He lost 31 of them. How many Legos did Javey have then?

Van brought 169 Legos and added them to what Javey had so they could build a tower.

How many Legos did Javey and Van have to build the tower with?

Holden was helping a friend build a pen for some goats.

The pen had to be an unusual quadrilateral and they needed to know how much fencing to buy.

One side was 134 feet long.

Another side was 86 feet long.

The third side was 142 feet long.

And the last side was 95 feet long.

How much fencing did Holden and his friend need to buy to build the goat pen?

If you’ve worked through that, it’s definitely time for a game here at ABCya. Find a way to keep practicing your math facts in all four operations.

UA’s for today…

Challenges and Phys. Ed. Here is the link to their website if you need some suggestions for how to stay active and fit.

I hope you had a great day! We’ve got this when we all work together!

Our Day – Monday, May 4

May 4, 2020May 4, 2020 Mrs. Eaves Remote Learning

Good Morning! I hope you had a great weekend. It was fun to glimpse many of you in Brady’s birthday parade. Thank you!

I’m thinking our graphs are too full to continue on with them, but maybe some of you will make your own and continue. My grandfather was a horticulturist (tree and plant grower) and he kept a daily record of the high and low temperature, the cloud cover and amount of precipitation every day from 1924 to 1985. He graphed the weather patterns of each year and each decade. It is really cool to read his journals. You could be starting a record like that now. 🌧🌨☀️

Morning Work – Let’s start off your learning day by picking up your gratitude rock and thinking of something new to add to your Gratitude Jar. I don’t know if you are keeping up with this practice, but I hope so. Taking a moment to count our blessings helps us feel happier.

Before you get started with your own work, take some time to read your classmates’ blogs and leave a comment or two. Your comments are compliments your classmates need. Let them know you care. ☀️😎🌞 Thanks for staying connected!

Morning Meeting– Today we’ll read After the Fall. Think about how having courage helped Humpty Dumpty experience something new. We can help each other become more courageous when we offer our support. Choose one of these sentence stems written by Dan Rockwell:

I appreciate …
I notice…
You’re great at…

Use it to leave Humpty Dumpty an encouraging compliment in the comments. It might seem odd to compliment a book character, but practice makes progress. I hope with practice, our habit of encouraging our family and friends will grow and grow.

Take a break, get a snack and move around. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos: Wishy Washy Washer Woman and Melting. One is for moving, the other for focus and reflection.

Science and Reading

Here are the riddle answers from Thursday: #1.the temperature ,#2. the President , and #3.9 blocks .

Shared Reading – We are shifting our reading focus from mysteries to a science topic: force and motion. Today we’ll explore the basic concepts of position, motion, pushes and pulls and friction. If it seems too easy, stick with it. We are building the foundation for everyone.

Let’s read some poems together again.

Push Power by Janet Wong

I pull with my hands. Open the link to this BrainPop Jr

My wagon is stuck. about Pushes and Pulls.

I push harder with legs. When you finish watching,

This time I’m in luck. complete the Pushes and Pulls

Hail stones ping all over town.

Acorns plunk – ouch! – from a tree.

Oh, the joys of gravity!

Take a break, go outside, run around, sing, play a game, make some art.

Independent Reading – Keep reading each and every day! 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 still look great. I am hopeful that Mrs. McCombs will meet with us on Zoom soon to teach more about what the Library has to offer. Enjoy a great book today! (If you’re feeling like you need some new books, let me know. I might be able to help you out!)

At the end of reading, 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.

Writer’s Workshop – Over the next several days we will use the planning and mapping we did last week, to guide us as we write our mysteries . You’ve got great plans and you’re ready to begin. Today there are directions for writing your lead. To remind yourself what that is, read this chart before you begin.
There are:

Snapshot leads that paint a picture,
Dialogue leads where conversation opens the writing,
Question leads that pique your interest through questions and
Onomatopoeia leads that open with sounds.

Go to our Google Classroom and look for the assignment: 1. Writing a Mystery ~ the beginning.

If you’d like to do more writing and you need a new idea, here are today’s Quick Writes:

Write about a perfect spring day. Include details about the weather, where you would g and what you would do.
Create the top 10 list of favorite spring activities.
What’s the difference between spring and summer? List as many differences as you can.
Pretend that you are in charge of planning a spring picnic for your family. Plan the menu and tell about the games and activities that will be there.
or any other topic you’re interested in writing about.

Math – Last week we began studying geometry. We are learning how to describe the attributes of each shape. Are the sides parallel or not? Are the sides
all equal? Are opposite sides equal? We learned to mark what we see.

A rhombus has four equal sides. This is how a mathematician would label the sides of a rhombus. Look at the corners or vertices. Are the opposite corners the same?

A square has four sides are equal AND four equal vertices or corners. The sides are equal in length and the corners are all the same angle ~right. This is how a mathematician would label a square.

In a parallelogram the opposites sides are equal. The two long sides are equal and parallel. The two short sides are equal and parallel. This is how a mathematician would label a parallelogram. Look at the corners or vertices. Are the opposite corners the same?

In a rectangle the the opposites sides are equal AND it has four equal vertices or corners. The two long sides are the same length and parallel. The two short sides are the same length and parallel. All four vertices are the same angle ~ right. This is how a mathematician would label a rectangle.

Trapezoids always have one set of opposite, parallel lines. But, they only sometimes have sides of the same length. Parallel lines on trapezoids are marked with arrows. Look at the corners or vertices. Are the opposite corners the same?

Practice using this information by name the shapes on the Naming and Labeling Quadrilaterals worksheet. Name the shape AND by showing if the sides are equal in length or parallel. Start looking at the corners. Are they all equal like they are in rectangles and squares? Or are opposite corners equal like the sides of rectangles and parallelograms? Further your understanding by completing this worksheet naming the Attributes of Parallelograms.

Sophie made three huge piles of books. One had 1,567 short books, another had 2,934 picture books and the last had 3,085 chapter books.

How many books did Sophie have altogether?

She read 2,034 of the books in when she was in second and third grade.

How many books were left for fourth grade?

Van organized his Lego.

He had 245 blue bricks, 68 yellow bricks 22 white bricks and 100 red bricks.

How many bricks did Van organize altogether?

He used 142 of those bricks when he made a dinosaur.

How much did he have left?

Estella organized her craft supplies.

She had 127 beads, 68 stickers and 45 feathers.

How many supplies did Estella organize altogether?

She used 139 of those supplies to decorate gifts she was making for her family.

How much did she have left?

Edward had a rock collection. He had 10,473 rocks with crystals in them. He had 3,856 that had granite in them. How my rocks did he have altogether?

His friends gave him 5,247 rock made of agate. How many rocks did he have then?

He used 6,024 of them to decorate the patio.

How many rocks did he have left in his collection when he was done?

Holden had a collection of 112,000 Legos before he began building his Star Wars Fleet.

He used 1,362 Legos in each of the 5 X-Wing Fighters he made. He used 2,024 in each of 4 Tie Fighters he made. And he used 12,457 to make the Millenium Falcon.

How many Lego did he use in all to make his entire Star Wars Fleet?

How many Lego bricks did he have left to use for other projects?

May organized her craft supplies.

She sorted and counted 327 beads, 126 stickers and 457 feathers.

How many supplies did May organize altogether?

She used 832 of those supplies to decorate gifts she was making for her family. How much did she have left?

If you’ve worked through that, it’s definitely time for a game here at ABCya. Find a way to keep practicing your math facts in all four operations.

UA’s for today…

Our Day ~ Thursday, April 30

April 30, 2020 Mrs. Eaves Remote Learning

🥳🎂🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADY!🎉🎂🥳

Good Morning!

Morning Work – Start off your learning day by completing your weather graph, note 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.

Next, pick up you gratitude rock and think of something new to add to your Gratitude Jar. I don’t know if you are keeping up with this practice, but I do know it helps to find the silver lining .

Check out each others blogs and leave a comment or two. I notice more and more of you checking out what each other is creating in your blog. You are doing spectacular things! 🎇🎆🎇 Thanks for staying connected!

I found a way to share Ms. Vas reading Courage by adding it to our Google Classroom. You will find the video in the stream and under the topic, Guest Reader. I hope it works today. I’m pretty sure it will. Enjoy!

Morning Meeting– Today we’ll share and compare two versions of The Tortoise and the Hare; one from Jerry Pinkney’s illustrated collection and another from Mary Ann Hoberman’s Very Short Fables for Two Voices. (Thanks to Mr. Eaves for reading the second voice.)

One version is longer than the other and each has different illustrations. Look beyond that to reflect on which version and moral speaks to you and connect more closely to how you hope people will treat each other. Leave a comment explaining which version you liked better and why. Also, please tell what the moral means to you.

Take a break, get a snack and move around. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos: move with Ryan Kerrigan and relax and reflect with Go With the Flow.

Shared Reading –We’ll solve riddles and listen to mysteries.

Here are the riddle answers from last Wednesday: #1 Lunch and dinner ,#2 They wave, and #3. a

Here are some new riddles for today ~

#1 What goes up and down, but never moves?

# 2 Mr. Blue lives in the blue house, Mr. Yellow lives in the yellow house and Mr. Black live in the black house. Who lives in the white house?

#3 How many blocks?

Listen to Nate the Great and the Phony Clue.

In a comment, share how you solved the mystery – make sure to include all the clues you found in the words and illustrations to provide proof for your claim.

Use all that you’ve learned by listening and reading mysteries to continue on with our mystery planning activities, Go to our Google Classroom. Open the new assignment called Mapping Your Mystery.

Here is an example of one I created for the story I am planning called The 100 Year Old Clue.

Here’s the map and the clues I made. Here’s my mystery plan: My main character goes to spend a week with her grandparent in the summer. The first night there her Grandpa tells a story about a treasure hunt his grandfather had made for his mom (the main character’s great-grandmother), but there was a barn fire and the first clue was lost and so the treasure was never found. Dun, dun, dun…

If you need ideas, you can look at a better copy of the map and the clues in Google Classroom when you open the assignment Mapping Your Mystery. Have fun making your map. Don’t rush. Do a little at a time so you have a chance to come up with your best idea. It doesn’t need to be finished until Tuesday.

Take a break, go outside, run around, sing, play a game, make some art.

At the end of reading, 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.

Writer’s Workshop –

Take this time to finish up any writing projects you are in the middle of. I am so impressed by all you are creating. Here’s a summary: book reviews, gaming reviews, informational paragraphs, personal narratives, adventure stories, detective stories, science fiction, fantasy, stream of consciousness pieces and poetry. It has also been wonderful to see you planning and creating videos to sharing hobbies and new challenges.

If you’re ready for a new writing idea, here are today’s Quick Writes:

Courage means…
Tell about a time when you were courageous. What did you do? How did your feel before, during and after?
I can be a good friend by…
Who is someone you think is courageous. Tell why.
Wish I know more about…

Math Workshop – We have started studying geometry and we are learning about the attributes of shapes. We are looking to see if the sides are parallel or not. We are looking to see if the side are all equal, or if opposites sides are equal and we are learning to mark what we see.

Let’s start with a rhombus. In a rhombus all four sides are equal. This is how a mathematician would label a square.

Now let’s look at a square. In a square all four sides are equal AND it has four 90° right angles. This is how a mathematician would label a square.

Let’s look at a parallelogram. In a parallelogram the the opposites sides are equal. The two long sides are the same length and parallel. The two short sides are the same length and parallel. This is how a mathematician would label a parallelogram.

Now let’s look at a rectangle. In a rectangle the the opposites sides are equal AND it has four 90° right angles. The two long sides are the same length and parallel. The two short sides are the same length and parallel. This is how a mathematician would label a rectangle.

Finally, let’s look at trapezoids. They always have one set of opposite, parallel lines. But, they only sometimes have sides of the same length. Parallel lines on trapezoids are marked with arrows.

Here is a corrected copy of the worksheet you practiced with yesterday. Using the information you just read, see if you can Name the Quadrilaterals on this worksheet.

And see if you can both Name and Label the Quadrilaterals on this worksheet.

Don’t expect it to be easy. Ask for help, reread the information and talk it through. You are just beginning. It’s okay to not feel certain. You will with time and practice. 👊🏻 You’ve got this! 🙌🏼 Practice makes progress!

Elena had a rock collection. She had 473 crystals. She had 856 rocks with mica in them. How my rocks did she have altogether?

Her friends gave her 247 rocks with fossils in them. How many rocks did she have then?

Landon had a collection of 12,000 Legos before he began building robots out of them.

He used 2,485 bricks to make the first robot, 3,067 bricks to make the second robot and 918 bricks to make the last robot.

How many Lego bricks did Landon use in all to make the three robots?

How many Lego bricks did Landon have left to use for other projects?

Piper organized her art supplies.

She sorted and counted 327 markers, 2,684 crayons and 857 colored pencils.

How many supplies did Piper organize altogether?

She donated half of them to a children’s center.

How many art supplies did Piper have left?

Javey practiced shooting baskets at recess. He made 25 shots on Monday, 26 shots on Tuesday and 29 shots on Wednesday.

How many baskets did he make altogether?

How many more shots would Javey need to make to reach 100?

Justin had a collection of sports cards. He had 12,421 hockey cards. He had 4,315 basketball cards. How many sports cards did he have altogether?

He gave his friends 1,478 of his cards. How many sports cards did he have left?

Brady organized his Pokemon cards.

He sorted and counted 153 Energy cards, and 238 Special Trainer cards.

How many Pokemon cards did Brady organize?

His mom gave him 3 new sets. Each set had 24 cards.

Now how many Pokemon cards does Brady have altogether?

If you’ve worked through that, it’s definitely time for a game here at ABCya. Try Prodigy. Your parents have your login and password. Use the games to practice your basic facts in all the operations. A third grade goal is know all + and – and x facts and at least 40 ÷ facts.

Our Day – Wednesday, April 29

April 29, 2020April 29, 2020 Mrs. Eaves Remote Learning

Good Morning!

Next, pick up you gratitude rock and think of something new to add to your Gratitude Jar. I don’t know if you are doing this each day, butI hope so. It does make you and all of us, more happy.

Ms. Vas has a book to share with us. I am so grateful to her for checking in with us each week. Today she wants to remind us of all we can do.We’ll have to wait for this I have to figure out how to get the link to work. Sorry!

Check out each others blogs and leave a comment or two. Thank you to all of you, so many more of you who have begun making comments. I hope it becomes a regular part of your morning. Your comments are a way of sharing happiness. ☀️🍨🌈 Thanks for staying connected!

Morning Meeting– Today we’ll share and compare two versions of The Ant and the Dove; one from Jerry Pinkney’s illustrated collection and another from Mary Ann Hoberman’s Very Short Fables for Two Voices. (Thanks to Mr. Eaves for reading the second voice.)

Take a break, get a snack and move around. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos: Twist and Shout with Maximo and reflect with Mood Walk.

Shared Reading – We’ll solve riddles and listen to mysteries.

Here are the riddle answers from last Wednesday: #1 Edam (That’s a kind of cheese like cheddar or Swiss) ,#2 Because you can see right through them, and #3. the bunny 3 kg., the cat is 7 kg. and the dog is 17 kg. So the final weight is 27kg.

Here are some new riddles for today ~

#1 What two things can you never eat for breakfast?

#2 How do oceans say good-bye to one another?

#3 What comes next?

Listen to Miss Nelson Has a Field Day.

In a comment, share how you solved the mystery – make sure to include all the clues you found in the words, past books and this book’s illustrations to provide proof for your claim.

Use all that you’ve learned by listening and reading mysteries to continue on with our mystery planning activities, Go to our Google Classroom and finish any of the mystery planning activities you have left to do. Here are the activities so far:

Planning you Mystery’s Setting
Creating Your Mystery’s Main Character
Create an Intriguing Mystery with a Puzzle to Solve

This is a “catch-up” day. I think we need a day so everyone is ready for the next part of the plan. Thanks for being so creative and thoughtful! You’re amazing!

Take a break, go outside, run around, sing, play a game, make some art.

At the end of reading, 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.

Writer’s Workshop – Take this time to finish up any writing projects you are in the middle of.

If you haven’t already, please read and comment on the fabulous stories, personal narratives and poetry you’ve all been writing! Wow! 📝

If you’re ready for a new writing idea, here are today’s Quick Writes:

What I know about rabbits (insert any animal here) is that…
What would happen if animals could talk to you?
What questions would you like to ask and what would their answers be?
Tell the story of what happened when it really did rain cats and dogs…
or any other topic you’d like to write about.

Read the prompts, think for a minute or so, choose a topic and write for a full 10 minutes without stopping. You can write poems, articles, interviews, plays… the sky’s the limit. At the end of 10 minutes you choose – are you done, do you have a different idea, do you want to keep going. Remind yourself to intentionally use elaboration strategies to spiff up your writing. We’d love to read some of your writing on your blog this week.

Math –Thanks for sharing your Quadrilateral Scavenger Hunts. I know some of you are still working on them. I bet I’ll see your’s today. I was surprised by how many of you found lots of examples of of trapezoids and rhombuses. Thanks to Brady for sharing what he found with photographs on his blog! I also appreciated seeing how many of you looked beyond the obvious.

We know all quadrilaterals are closed shapes, have 4 straight sides and 4 vertices (corners). Our task is to learn how to describe each shape by its specific attributes.

Mathematicians use signs and symbols to help us understand. This trapezoid is labeled with arrows pointing in the same direction. That lets us know those lines are parallel.

The blue lines in this rectangle let us know the sides are equal. The 2 sides with one blue line are equal and the 2 sides with two blue lines are equal. The corners of the rectangle are marked with a red box. The box in the corner means that is a 90° or right angle.

Using this information complete the worksheet by labeling each shape: rhombus, rectangle, square, parallelogram or trapezoid. Some shapes may have more than one label. Mark the sides if they are equal. Mark the vertices if they are 90°.

Classify Quadrilaterals

This worksheet introduce the kite. Can you tell how it is different from a rhombus.Coloring Quadrilaterals

When you’ve finished them, please find a way to share them through email of your blog. 😀

Several of you began stories last week. Please continue adding to them. Don’t leave us in suspense. 😲

If you’re ready for a new writing idea, here are today’s Quick Writes:

What is your favorite room in your home and why?
What excites you?
I wish I could do _____ because…
Let’s go _____ Describe your adventure.
or any other topic that you’re interested in writing about today.

Math Workshop ~

Begin with a math warm-up worksheet to review and remember our work with x, ÷ and fractions Mixed x÷ warm up and Fraction Review.

When you answered the question, “What makes a rectangle so special?”, how many of these attributes did you include:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral. That means it is a closed shape.
The opposite sides of the shape are straight, parallel lines.
The opposite sides are of equal length.
All 4 vertices (corners) are right angles.
Rectangles are symmetrical. They have four lines of symmetry.

Today we’re going to explore four different types of quadrilaterals: squares, trapezoids, parallelograms and rhombuses.

Looks at the sets of pictures showing what each of those four shapes is and is not.

Once you think you know what the shapes are go on a scavenger hunt in and around your house. Find as many of each type of shape as you can ~ stop when you’ve reached 10 of one kind. At my house finding squares was really easy. So was finding parallelograms if I only counted rectangles, to I tried to challenge myself to find others. That was a bit more tricky.Here are some pictures of things I found when I was looking ~

The side of the light, the pattern on the turtle toy and the roofs on the houses were trapezoids. I found trapezoids and long skinny parallelograms in the stained glass. The only rhombus I could find was on a playing card. I found squares all over once I started seeing …

When you’re ready have fun on the Quadrilateral Scavenger Hunt. You can find it here or in Google Classroom. Do it wherever it is easier to turn in so I can see what you found.

If I asked you to list at least 4 attributes that are shared by all squares, could you?

If I asked you to list at least 4 attributes that are shared by all trapezoids, could you? How about parallelograms and rhombuses?

Landon, Holden, Edward, and Brady each had 48 markers. How many markers did they have altogether? Half of the markers had fine tips and they other half had wide points. How many of each type did they have?

How many pencils do the students in 3E have altogether?

How many crayons do the students of 3E have altogether?

How many erasers do the student of 3E have altogether?

Estella, Javey and Landin each wrote a story that was 436 words long.

Anna and Van each wrote stories that were 527 words long.

How many words did these five students write altogether?

How many more words would they have to write to reach 5,000 words in total?

Vera has 25 violet marbles. May has 7 times more violet marbles than Vera has. How many marble does May have?

There were six bowls of Hershey Kisses. Each bowl had 143 pieces of candy in it.

How many pieces of Hershey Kisses were there altogether?

There were five bowls of M&M’s. Each bowl had 178 M&M’s in it. How many M&M’s were there altogether?

Were there more Hershey’s Kisses or more M&M’s?

How many more?

Katherine started baking brownies at 9:35 on Saturday. She baked for 55 minutes.

What time was it when she stopped?

Katherine baked 13 pans of brownies. There were 8 brownies in each pan. How many brownies did she bake altogether?

If you’ve worked through that, it’s definitely time for a game here at ABCya. Give Prodigy a try. Did anyone else find another game to recommend? Let us know so we can all have fun.

Math Workshop–

Begin with a math warm-up worksheet to review and remember our work with a Mixed Review Fractions, Multiplication & Division

We are beginning an Investigation of Polygons. “What’s a polygon?” you ask. We haven’t talked much about them or angles since October. Polygons are shapes. Polygons are closed, 2-dimensional, straight sided shapes. Here is a picture of a few different polygons.

In our exploration we’ll be exploring the attributes of many different shapes. We are going to explore a special quadrilateral today ~ a rectangle. What are the attributes that define rectangles and set them apart from all other quadrilaterals?

We’ll be thinking about their sides ~ are they parallel, are they perpendicular? We’ll be thinking about their corners (the correct mathematical word is vertices)~ are they right, acute or obtuse angles.

Here are some of the ways we can describe different shapes. We will use these terms to create a definitions of shapes. Today we’ll be thinking about what makes a rectangle, a rectangle.

Here is a picture of the top part of a worksheet you’ll be completing today. Look at the two sets of shapes and see if you can figure out what makes a rectangle.

Look at the sides in the rectangle group. Are opposite sides parallel? Are opposite sides different lengths? Are the angles (corners) right, obtuse or acute? Use these ideas to complete this worksheet: What Makes a Rectangle So Special?. Please find a way to share this with me today ~ send an email, or create a post on your blog. Thank you. It will help me plan lessons you understand more easily.

For a quick write you read the prompts, think for a minute or so, choose a topic and write for a full 10 minutes without stopping. At the end of 10 minutes you choose – are you done, do you have a different idea, do you want to keep going. When you feel like your piece of writing is done, you can decide to keep to yourself, or to publish it.

Math – Today for math we are going to complete the first two pages of the unit assessment. Think back to what you know about x/÷ fact families. Remind yourself about what you know about writing word problems and remember how to write all of your equations to represent your math thinking.

Good Morning! It’s the 50th Celebration of Earth Day tomorrow, Wednesday, April 22. During our breaks I will share activities about taking care of our planet. I hope you’ll find time for some ~ or some of your own, and I hope you’ll share what you’re doing to celebrate Earth Day tomorrow and everyday. Earth needs your to be filled with your creativity and care!

Today I’ve chosen to start the day I Am Love as a reminder to look for the good – it’s always there. After you listen, pick up you gratitude rock and think of something new to add to your Gratitude Jar.

Check out each others blogs and leave a comment or two. You’ve be sharing amazing writing, math and art. Thanks for staying connected!🙌🏼🌎💕

During Morning Meeting– I try to share something to remind us of how we can make the world better. Fables are stories that remind us of our choices. Let’s listen to two different versions of The Sun and the Wind.If the two versions were not illustrated, how would the words compare? Did you find a lesson or moral at the end? Were they the same, different, similar…?

What did you notice that was the same about the two version? What was different? Which did you like better? Do you have a different version at home? Leave your answers to these questions in a comment below.

Take a break, get a snack and move around. Try Exersice Bingo. If you’d like, here are two Go Noodle videos: move to Show Us What You Got and reflect and relax with Bear Breath.

Shared Reading – This week we’ll continue to solve riddles and listen to mysteries. The answers to yesterday’s riddles were: #1 Your breathe, #2 Wet and #3 there are 44 triangles.

Here are some new riddles to solve:

Riddle #1. How far can a dog run into the woods?

Riddle #2. A farmer has 19 sheep on his land. One day, a big storm hits and all but 7 sheep run away. How many sheep does the farmer have left?

Riddle #3 Which letter shares the top view?

We’re going to begin to activities to help us each write a mystery. The Secret Birthday Message is a mystery that is solved by following the steps of a letter and making a map. Listen to The Secret Birthday Message.

Today we are going to begin the planning steps to write a mystery. I think it might be easiest for you to complete your work in Google Classroom . You should each have a copy of today’s assignment when you open the link called Select an Interesting Setting. The easiest way to create a setting for your mystery is to choose a place you know well, like your home, your backyard, a summer vacation spot, the school and our classroom. In the assignment you’ll brainstorm a list of familiar places. Think about setting as if you are there. Use your senses in the assignment. The more details you can imagine now, the easier it will be to create your story when we move out of the the planning stages

Take a break, go outside, run around, sing, play a game, make some art.

The A to Z Mysteries Detective Camp will meet at 9:30

The Buddy Files ~The Case of the School Ghost will meet at 10:30
