We did i-ready for 15 minutes.. Go to Clever and log in with your student ID [email protected] . The password is the same password you use at school. 3. We reviewed what we've learned so far in math with A.M. work. Main Lesson Today we combined partitioning shapes and equivalent fractions. We did lesson 33 session 2 in the math book. We folded papers and labeled the papers with eighths, fourths, and halves. To get to your math book online, go to Clever and log in with your student ID [email protected] . The password is the same password you use at school. Click on the little cube that says I-ready. This link has great instructions on how to use the bookshelf from home. Your homework is the last page of the lesson. ELA Phonics: Today we sorted the different types of syllables. We got into partners and did a Jamboard. To get to the Jamboards, go to Google Classroom. Log in to Google and click on the waffle. Then click on Google Classroom. It's under Reading and is called 2024 Syllable Sort. We took a spelling test and a pretest today. To take it at home, go to Powerspelling.com and log in. Grammar and Writing: We practiced our grammar in morning work. We practiced building sentences. We worked phonological awareness. We learned how to write D's and L's in cursive. Fluency: We got new parts for Reader's Theater. Science This week we are celebrating Earth Day. We're investigating Social Studies Standard 1: Objectives: 2b: Identify important natural resources of world ecosystems. 2c. Describe how communities have modified the environment to accommodate their needs (e.g. logging, storing water, building transportation systems). 3a: Identify ways people use the physical environment (e.g. agriculture, recreation, energy, industry). 3b. Compare changes in the availability and use of natural resources over time. 3c. Describe ways to conserve and protect natural resources (e.g. reduce, reuse, recycle). 3d. Compare perspectives of various communities toward the natural environment. 3e. Make inferences about the positive and negative impacts of human-caused change to the physical environment. Today we finished watching the video from yesterday. we watched a video, pausing every few minutes to discuss. We also watched this video about how fossil fuels are made, and why they are nonrenewable. Then we played a game to model renewable and nonrenewable resources. We put 100 chips into a bag. 80 of them were different colors and 20 of them were yellow. That bag is a model of the earth's resources. Then we took turns drawing out 10 chips each year. Each time a nonrenewable (colored) chip was pulled out, it had to stay out, because we can't make more. Each time a renewable resource was used(yellow) we got to put it back in. As the years went on, and everyone was pulling out 10 chips, more and more yellow chips were pulled out and fewer and fewer colored chips were left in the bag. We only got to year 12, but we're going to up to year 20 tomorrow. Here are materials to play the game if you'd like to play at home. It's suggested that you use beads. You could even use macaroni and color 10 of the macaroni a different color to be the renewable ones! I only use one bag, and I cross out the last 2 columns of the chart, so we're only tracking the number of renewable and nonrenewable resources drawn out, or used each year.
