Virtual Learning 3/30/2020

Welcome back everyone! Today is Monday, March 30, 2020.

I hope you all had a fun, relaxing, and healthy spring break. I know that this transition to virtual learning has been a bit strange and maybe even challenging for many of us (parents included), so I'm going to make a few changes. Each day, my assignments will include a list of "must do's" and some "may do's". The must do's are things that you need to complete, and may require evidence of their completion (a photo sent to me/ a Google Doc shared with me) . They will consist of things like math and reading, and should be things you are able to do on your own. The may-do's will include things you can do in order to push your learning. These are optional, but if your parents say you have to, then that's what you do.

Morning meeting will begin at 9:00 this morning. Follow the link below:
https://zoom.us/j/117386181

Must do's:
1. MATH-
Redbird 45 minutes (both 4th and 5th). Fourth grade must show me a picture of your Redbird notebook. Leave comments or get a hold of me if you have any questions.

2. READING-
Group 1, "City of Ember", will be meeting today at 10:30. Group members include: Calum, Colton, Jacoby, Charlie, Bohde, and Sam. Make sure you're reading bookclub things are complete prior to our meeting.

https://zoom.us/j/590908610

If you are NOT in Group 1, you should continue to read your bookclub book and fill out your reading notebook so that you are ready for your meeting. I would like EVERYONE to be reading 30 minutes/day. I have set up a Google Sheet for everyone to log their daily reading. I will put in a new day, each day, for you to fill in your reading. There is a spot for you to place an "x" when you are done, a spot for your book title, and then which pages you read. Please fill in this information every day. You can read your book club book, or another book. Follow the link below to access the reading log:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kc5XJyRoMzYypxYyk56EaOFRnLYOA9po3lNz6IBzQNg/edit?usp=sharing

The meeting schedule is as follows:
Monday- Group 1 "City of Ember", Calum, Colton, Jacoby, Charlie, Bohde, and Sam.
Tuesday- Group 2 "Chasing Vermeer", Clare, Stella, Trinity, Hailey, Aaron, and Lacy.
Wednesday- Group 3 "Phantom Tollbooth", Amelie, Vann, Lydia, Nicolai, Keegan, and Owen.

3. WRITING- Type up your setting, conflict, and resolution for your adventure story and share this with me in a Google Doc. ahernandez@etudegroup.org
These are pages that you have already filled out, but I'd like to see everyone's progress and be able to provide feedback.

I will hold a question/answer zoom meeting at 1:00. Follow the link for the meeting below:

Math- 5th graders follow Mr. S' plans on the 5th grade math Google Classroom.
4th graders complete 45 minutes on Redbird Lessons, and again send me a picture of your redbird notebook. (This was best accomplished by parents taking a photo and emailing it to me.)

Reading-
Please open a Google Doc, date the top of the paper, and title it "Reading Strategy- Prediction for 3/19/2020"
Make one prediction for the story you are reading (could be your bookclub book, or another), and make sure you add text evidence. Example: I think that ____ will happen next because on page ______, __________ happened/was said.

Remember to keep working on your reading bookclub book/ notebook entry. Groups will meet the week AFTER Spring Break.

Writing- Complete a story mountain for your adventure story in your graphic organizer (page 3).
DOL-
Complete Thursday of week 22. I will hold an online meeting around 1:00 to discuss DOL. I'll put the link in the comments. Just follow the link to join the online meeting. During this online meeting I'll also be available to answer any questions about any work thus far.

PBL-
Please READ the following news article:

https://www.dogonews.com/2020/1/20/high-school-student-discovers-new-planet-three-days-into-his-nasa-internship

Please open a Google Doc, date the top of the page 3/19, and title it: "NASA discovers a new planet- Reflection"
Answer the following questions in your reflection :

1. What is something new/interesting that you learned from this article?
2. What is something you'd like to be known for discovering?
3. How do you think this discovery could help the people of Earth?

Music: Sing your favorite song to a family member, a pet, or a stuffed animal.
Physical Education: Draw your own Blackout Course on a sheet of paper.
Drama:Goal: Identify what movie trailers do to make people want to see the movie.

Why we are doing this: Our final project in drama this trimester will be to make trailers for your adventure story.

Watch 3 different trailers for movies.

Wreck it Ralph 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AokzSB6BwMs

Wallace and Gromit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXYNHHj4KDw

Onward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ciqmX0naM8

Complete a See/Hear-Think-Wonder and email to Mr. Burkey:

Write down which movies you watched trailers for.

See/Hear: List 10 things you noticed in the trailers

See/hear: List 5 things you noticed in more than one of the trailers

Think: Why do you think the trailer makers chose these parts of the movie and left out other parts?

Wonder: What do you wonder about the movies these trailers are advertising?

It would be great to write up your See, Think, Wonder in your reflection notebook.


Again, the Google Classroom should only be used for learning and NOT for chatting, making funny posts, etc...


Thanks Everyone!

Miss Hernandez

Welcome to Virtual Learning 4/5!
I hope everyone is healthy and ready for the day. I will be holding a Google Hangouts Meet at 8:30 for morning meeting. We will go through celebrations, concerns, and well-wishes. To access this meet, join this Google Calendar invite: https://meet.google.com/bik-fqib-sze

5th grade math: see Mr. Scharenbroch's Math Google Classroom for more details.
4th grade math: Please complete 45 minutes of Redbird Lessons. Remember, you must work through the problems in your Redbird notebook, as I will be looking at these. Have parents take a snapshot of your page(s) and share it with me when you're done.

Reading: You should start your reading bookclub book today. Many of you have about 25 pages to read per week. The week after Spring Break I will set meeting times to meet with each group's book club. All students should be filling in questions, predictions, summary, etc... in the reading notebook as you read.
Next, please do the first page Reflection for the Reading Group and answer the following questions within it.

What are you excited about within this book?
Do you have any concerns?
What do you think are the elements within this book that make it an adventure book?
Those students using System 44 should complete your online lesson and workbook page for today.

This week's reading strategy will be predicting. In a Google doc, I would like to see a prediction for a story you are reading (could be your bookclub book). This prediction should include text evidence to support your prediction (ex: I feel like this could happen next because on page 6 this specific thing happens, etc...). Share this Google doc with me.

Writing: Complete page 2 in your graphic organizer which deals with creating the setting, conflict, and resolution of your story. 

Greek and Latin Stems: This week's stem is "aqu/a".
DOL: Complete Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of week 22 DOL page. Please take a snapshot of your completed DOL sentences and share to me.

https://www.dogonews.com/2020/3/15/the-who-has-declared-the-covid-19-coronavirus-outbreak-a-pandemic-here-is-what-that-means about the Coronavirus.
After you have read it, in your reflection notebook, I would like you to respond to the following questions:
Label the top (3/17) and “Coronavirus Reflection.” Have at least 5 sentences.

What is surprising or new to you?
What are we doing to stop this from getting worse?
How do you think the world could work together to make this threat go away quicker?

Music: Go outside and listen to nature’s music. What did you hear?
Physical Education: Get outside and get active. Run, Jump, Play!

I look forward to a fun day of learning with y'all! Miss ya already!
