Project: Drawing a surprise animal with folded paper
Annabelle in 4th grade had a request to learn how to do origami, and we are doing a unit on cartoon drawing this week across the grade levels, so I decided to introduce this project prompt to fulfill both!
To go along with this Shark, you can make some origami fish using this tutorial: origami fish Remember to start with a piece of paper that is square, and not too thick.
Have fun! Share anything you'd like to share to cseeholzer@stpaulwestlake.org (optional)
Technology Grade 5 April 29
Grades for work before the break are entered in TADS, not Google Classroom.
Today is Part 2. Now that you made your constellation drawing, we will write a story. (If you didn't make the drawing, go back to April 22.) We are pretending that we just discovered some new stars, galaxies, or planets and they make an interesting constellation in the sky. Today we will write a ONE PARAGRAPH story.
Go to Google Classroom.
Watch my video click here.
Do you need help understanding constellations? Check out this video.
Open the Google doc in this assignment. Instructions are typed in the document, and you need to delete the instructions as you do them.
Write how the constellation was discovered and who did (this is make-believe-your creative writing)
Write why your constellation was given this name, and the story behind it.
Tell the story about the constellation person or event. Make it interesting.
Close with a sentence inviting readers to view, or learn more about this constellation.
Add the names of two special stars in your constellation, and name what type of star they are. Your drawing should show the color and size of the stars. Some of your stars could be: Red Giant, White Dwarf, Red Dwarf, Red or Blue Supergiants, tiny Brown Dwarfs.
Insert the drawing into the document(see video). Resize if needed.
Proofread.
Make a good start on this today. We'll probably need next week to finish.

No video today. Instead, two tasks to complete: First, complete pages 669-670 in your book. This will be treated like a "QUIZ" so do your best work.

Remember that I will be on ZOOM tomorrow from 10-11 and 1-2 if you have any questions. Otherwise, no class tomorrow, so complete these assignments and send me any work by Thursday.
