Distant Learning Day 4 - Monday

Today's message to you all comes from Ms. Meyers. If the spacing is a little strange in places it is because she emailed me her letter and I had trouble pasting it into the blog correctly. Oops!

Hey guys,

I hope everything has been going well and that you and your families are staying
safe and healthy. It’s been awesome to keep up with everyone through pictures.
Keep sending them in! 

Here is a picture of me with one of the boys that I tutor.

Leah and Ian doing some science in the garden.

Ethan poses for an adorable picture with a chick. Be careful, Ethan! They’ve been known to poop right after taking pictures.

Andrew getting ready to go on a bike ride.

Maya hard at work on her packet. We love to see it!

Raleigh conducts an experiment with different food coloring and water. We love the ponytails and panda onesie by the way – very stylish!

Jonah and his younger sister pose outside for a picture!

Zeina concentrating and getting her work done. Nice!

Today is Day 4 of your Home School work. Here are a few notes to help you
get started: 

Reading: There is an assigned reading called “Natural Changes to the
Environment." Complete questions 3 and 4 after you’ve finished reading.
Continue to read your independent reading book for at least 20 minutes
today. If you’d like to keep me and Dr. Hass updated about the book you’re
reading, feel free to email him. We’re excited to hear about it! 

Writing: Today, you’ll do a quick write on how characters in “Hide and Go
Hide” change from the beginning to the end of the story. As you write, don’t
forget CHIPS and try to make sure your paragraphs are written in an order
that makes sense. Shoot for 6-7sentences on this.

Math: Before you work on math today, you may need a quick review on
inequality signs (less than, greater than). Dr. Hass has sent your parents
a link to a silly video that should help you review. Remember, the sign always
opens to the GREATER amount (like a mouth eating the larger number). 

Science & Social Studies: For science, you’ll be creating a graphic organizer
about the three states of matter. Dr. Hass sent a link to a video that can help
to explain the properties of each state. You are free to create a graphic organizer
however you choose! Just be sure to include similarities and differences of the
three states of matter.

For social studies choose something new from the list of options. As always,
if you’d prefer to find a news article and discuss that with your families for
Social Studies, that is perfectly fine. 

Dr. Hass and I are extremely proud of the flexibility you all are showing as well
as the hard work that you are putting forth to get your work done! Do not
hesitate to reach out to us if you need any more help! Also, please continue to
send in pictures of yourselves with your families. Staying connected during this
time is so important. Stay safe and have a great week!
