Happy Wednesday, Temescalians! Has the week only half begun or is this week half over?

Announcements this week:

Here’s our joke/riddle of the day!

Why didn’t the orange win the race? It ran out of juice!

A few things to keep in mind while working:

  • If you are working with Katherine, do her assignments first.
  • Put on a timer for the time indicated for that subject. Once that timer dings, move on to the next work!
  • Take body breaks! Try out GoNoodle!
  • We’d love for you to share what you are up to! Let us know of any links/resources that you find interesting, and we’ll add it to our list of things! Also, email us pictures of what you’re up to, and a caption, and we’ll create a gallery of these pictures to post on Friday. (You’ll have to share the pictures by Thursday for them to be included on the Friday gallery!)
  • Please let us know if there is too much or too little work and if something is challenging for you. We want you all to be successful in Distance Learning, and we’re here to help!

Things that are due by Friday. (Please take a picture of all of these assignments and email them all at once to Jackie and me):

  • Math: T17 Multiplication & Division Checkpoint (Please indicate if your grown-ups helped you by writing a note in the margin.) Also, let us know if you haven’t received the instructional materials in the mail!
  • Book group questions emailed to Jackie or Lisa

Calendar (5 min):

What fraction do you see here? How much pizza is left? How much is missing?
What patterns do you notice? Do you have a prediction for tomorrow’s card?

Math (60 min):

  • T17: Multiplication and Division Checkpoint (Please note if you got any help from grown-ups!) <- It should be in the packet we mailed to you. If you haven’t received the packet yet, let us know!
  • During our live lesson, we’ll talk about division story problems. (Make sure you have your math journal/paper and pencil or whiteboard and marker handy for the live lesson!)
  • A handy tool to use manipulatives, since all of ours are at school, is to use  ToyTheater.com to use virtual manipulatives!  We will be using “Graph Squares” to create arrays today.
