Reading/Word Work Time
Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone,
Can you believe another week of school is almost done? Its going by so fast. I hope you are doing well with your assignments and you are able to get things done. I am so proud of all of you for the hard work you are doing at home. Your parents send me pictures of the things you have completed and I am so impressed by all of the hard work you have put in. Keep it up, we are almost through the week. Lets finish up our Mountain Language.
Mountain Language #16-20.
Finish this up and we will correct it tomorrow. You should have one of these papers in your packet or you can use the one from last week if you still have it. The Mountain Language Poster is in the top corner of the screen!
Roll and Spell
Since today it Thursday you know the drill. Its time for Roll and Spell. See if you parents have a piece of paper and a die. Grab your spelling list. Role the die and write your spelling word the way that the chart tells you. Go on to the next word and roll the die again. Make sure you write all of your spelling words.
Now go on and do the last section on the front side of the tri-fold. You can use the vocabulary list on your spelling list to help you.
Tri-Fold
Now go on and do the last section on the front side of the tri-fold. Think about the vocabulary words you learned on Monday. What was the definition of each word. Match the definition with its word. You can use the vocabulary list on the bottom of your spelling list to help you if you need to.
Story and Comprehension
Get the story Teamwork out of your packet and read the story. Answer the questions based on what you read. If you don't know the answer, go back and try reading the story again. Remember when answering questions about a story, it is a good idea to read it 3 times. The first time is a Cold Read. This is where you get to know what the story is about. The second time, you look at the questions and read through the story to find the answers. This is a Warm Read. The third time you read the story you are looking to find anything that you missed or didn't understand. This is a Hot Read. Notice that every time you read the story, it gets easier and easier. Reading a story three times is a good ides because you become more fluent at reading. That means your read it smoother and make less mistakes. You are familiar with the story and the words. You use more expression because you know how the characters feel or you can put the right emotion into what they are saying. Answer the question sheet and have your parents correct it with you and help you on the questions you missed. When you are done make sure you read or get on Lexia for 20-30 minutes. We need to reach our goal of everyone making it to level 13. I know you can do it. When you are done ask your parents if you can take a break before starting on the Math Block. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 11
Okay, today's Number of the Day would be #148. Only 30 more days of school!!! Until I get your Number of the Day Books sent home you can just practice on a piece of paper. Do #148. Show your parents how you do it. Don't forget to write include the following information.... (example is for #122) Remember you need to do it for #148.
Standard Form (Number Way) Picture Form Word Form Expanded Form
122 D II : One Hundred Twenty Two 100 + 20 + 2
(H) undreds/ (T) ens/ (O) nes Even or Odd 132 Ten More 222 One Hundred More
1 Hundred 2 Tens 2 Ones Even 112 Ten Less 22 One Hundred Less
Write 4 math problems that equal the number of the day...Examples: 11+11=22, 24-2=22, 55-33=22, 20+2=22
Don't forget to do your number of the day for #148.
Here is a word problem that you can figure out as well....
4. Daniel had some noodles. He gave 12 noodles to William. Now Daniel only has 54 noodles. How many noodles did Daniel have to begin with?
Now get out your GO Math Book. Remember if you have not finished Chapter 6 and taken the final Math Test that was on the blue paper in the packet from before Spring Break. Please finish that chapter and take that test before you go on to Chapter 11. Today we are on lesson 11.3 pages 517-520.
For the last couple of days we have been working on 3-D shapes. These shapes had depth to them. Today we are going to look at 2-D Shapes. 2-Dimensional Shapes are flat. Some 3-D Shapes are made up of several 2-D Shapes. For example, a cube is a 3-D shape made up of 6 squares.....it has six faces. Before we get on with the lesson, lets take a look at 2-D Shapes.
In the video it talked about the different shapes and that they have angles and parallel sides. Lets talk a little about angles or sides. In a 2-D Shape, the flat straight part is a side and the point or bends of the shape is called the angle or vertices. Remember that in 3-D Shapes the point was a vertex if it only one point and vertices if it has more that one point. On a 2-D Shape these or bends were called angles in the video but in your math book they are called vertices as well. Lets take a look at lesson 11.3.
On page 517, you need a ruler if you can get one. If not just do your best. In the top box draw a shape that has 3 straight side. What shape do you think has 3 straight sides? It's a triangle. Draw a triangle. In the bottom box they want you to draw a shape with 4 straight sides. Can you think of any shapes that have 4 straight sides? There are quite a few but some of the ones that come to mind are squares and rectangles. What did you draw? Now watch this video before we start on to the next page.
On page 518, let's take a look at the Model and Draw. In the picture, the straight line is called a side and the point is called a vertex. If you look at this triangle you can see 3 straight lines or sides, and 3 points or bends. Remember these points are called vertex or vertices in your book or they were called angles in the first video. Let's figure out how many sides and how many vertices are in the shapes at the bottom of model and draw. The quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. Quad means 4. These two quadrilaterals are different but the both have 4 sides and 4 angles or vertices. The middle section of the Model and Draw shows you some pentagons. Penta means 5. These pentagons have 5 sides and 5 vertices or points. The last section of Model and Draw is some Hexagons. Hexa means six. Hexagons have 6 sides and 6 verticies. Notice on the last Hexagon the angel or point goes in not out. This is still a point or a vertices. Have you noticed a pattern here? Did you notice that the amount of sides and the amount of vertices the same? It is always good to double check. Now let's do #1-3. #1 is a triangle. How many sides does it have? How many Vertices? The answer is 3 for both. give your self a high five if you got it right. #2 is a hexagon. Do you remember how many sides and how many vertices a hexagon have? If you said 6 you are right. Now lets do #3. It is a pentagon. This shape looks a little different because the top of it goes in not out but it is still a pentagon and a pentagon has how many sides? 5. It also has 5 angles. I am going to show you another video that talks about sides and corners or vertices. I think this will help you with they next two pages. When you are done watching you should do pages 519 & 520 on your own.
Write down how many sides and vertices each shape has and also write down the name of the shape. For example in # 4 it has 6 sides and 6 vertices. I know that hexa means six, so it is a hexagon. Now you do the rest. On the hot problem you need to draw the missing part to make that shape. Look at what the shape is called and this will give you clues to how many sides and how many vertices it will have. Look back at page 518 if you need help.
Figure out the answers on page 520. For the hot problem, draw that shape that has 4 sides but is not a square and it is not a rectangle. What could it be?
Okay, we are almost done with Math. Ask you parents if they want you to do the pages in the Math homework book for extra practice. It would be page 243 & 244 in your practice book.
Here is a little video that will help you on page 243 if you need help.
Now that you have been sitting so long doing math, why don't you get up and do the actions along with this next song. Get your body moving before you go to specialty.
Since today is Thursday, you have Music for Specialty. Follow the link below to get to the Music activities for this week. Have fun and enjoy.
Don't forget to click on Week 4.
After lunch, come back and do the writing block. Today we are going to start coming up with ideas for your Fractured Fairy Tale. See you back here soon!
Writing Block
Fractured Fairy Tales
I hope you had some fun at music and got some lunch. Now its time for writing. We have been learning about what a Fairy Tale and what a Fractured Fairy Tale are. I hope by now you have found a Fairy Tale that you want to change because today you are going to take the Fairy Tale and start breaking it apart, or fracturing it. Let just review a little. This paper should be in your packet.
Yesterday you heard the Fractured Fairy Tale of the "Three Little Pigs" when you listened to the "True Story of The Three Little Pigs". This was written from the Wolf's Point of View. Remember Point of View is the way a character sees things. This paper said that a Fractured Fairy Tale is where you take a story that you know and change them. You might change the characters, the setting, point of view, or the plot. You are going to use some of the notes you have been writing down over the last couple of days and you are going to start working on your Fractured Fairy Tale.
First step is to pick a Fairy Tale that you know. If you haven't picked one yet, do that today. Figure out what story you want to change.
Second Step is to read that Fairy Tale. We are going to use the steps of a close read and read the Fairy Tale you are changing. Remember the first time you read it is called a Cold Read. You are not looking for anything you are just reading the story so you know what it is about. You don't need to do anything but get familiar with the story and the characters.
Third Step is to get the following paper out of your packet. You are going to read the Fairy Tale you chose again. This is your Warm Read and you are going to look for the following information that is on this paper. You want to be able to fill in these boxes for the Fairy Tale side only.
Fourth Step is to go back and read the story a third time. This is the Hot Read. You are going to see if there is any information you missed or didn't understand. You should have the whole left side of the paper filled out after you have finished this Hot Read. You should also be getting ideas of how you want to change this story
Fifth Step fill out the other side of the paper. Look at your notes and see if you can use some of the ideas you came up with this week or come up with new ones. Remember that thing need to make sense. You don't want to write a story about a gingerbread man and have the Title be the "Three Little Pigs". when there are no pigs in the story. Make sure that you fill out each box on this side of the paper. We will work on the other side tomorrow.
I hope you have a good start on your brain drain. Lets take a look at some Fairy Tale sand some Fractured Fairy Tales.
Here is the Fairy Tale " Little Red Riding Hood" and the Fractured Fairy Tale " Little Red Gliding Hood". Notice how the titles are similar. In "Little Red Gliding Hood" but in the Fractured Fairy Tale, Little Red likes to skate and glide over the ice on skates. So it makes sense that she would be called Little Red Gliding Hood. What are some other differences you noticed in the Fractured Fairy Tale? Does it give you some ideas. Let's take a look at another Fairy Tale and Fractured Fairy Tale.
In the story of the "The Little Red Hen" she wants to grow wheat and make some bread. She tries to get someone to help her but nobody would. In the Fractured Fairy Tale " The Little Red Hen Makes A Pizza" she wants to make a pizza but no one would help her. Same as in the Fairy Tale. The thing that changed was what she was making. In both stories the Little Red Hen has to do all the work. Nobody wants to help but when the food is ready, everyone wants to eat it! In the Fairy Tale the Little, Red Hen doesn't share her bread and in the Fractured Fairy Tale she was willing to share her pizza. I think in both stories the other animals learned their lesson. In the Fairy Tale they didn't get any of the bread because they didn't help. In the Fractured Fairy Tale, the other animals all helped do the dishes because the Little, Red Hen shared her pizza and they needed to thank her for sharing her food. Remember sometimes there is a lesson to be learned in Fairy Tales and Fractured Fairy Tales.
Okay, one more example.
Notice how they changed the characters in the Fractured Fairy Tale of "Prince Cinders". It is a lot like Cinderella but they made the story about a boy instead of a girl. He had some mean Step-Brothers. He also turned back into himself at the stroke of Midnight. There are so many things you can do to change or fracture the Fairy Tale that you picked. I can't wait to see what you do.
Okay that is all for today. Put away your paper if you have finished filling it out and we will work on it tomorrow. I hope you have a fun day. Check with your parents to see if there is anything else they would like you to do. I can't wait to talk to some of you today on Google Meet. The rest of you I will talk to tomorrow. Love you all!
