E-lesson 3

E-Day 3!


We start the festivities with READING today!
Begin your learning by finding a good book that you are reading or by clicking on We Give Books for an e-book to read.  Be sure that you choose a book that isn't too hard or too easy.  Read your book, then fill out the Reading response log.  You can also write your response on paper and turn it in when you come back to school.
Get more books or a chapter book and settle in for 30 minutes of independent reading--just like you do at school.
Practice identifying antonyms here.  Then practice putting words in ABC order here.

Now for some math!  We've been working on multiplication and will work on division as well today.
Click on these links and practice for 15 minutes

Here's a practice sheet for you to print off, finish and turn in:  Circle Multiplication  or you may do this Mine Craft bow.  Look at the bottom to find what colors to use.
Need a multiplication chart?  Here you go!

Then take a quiz:

Multiplication quiz  Be sure to print out your results to turn in with your other lessons.
****DON'T WORRY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PRINTER.  JUST GO BACK UP AND PLAY THE GAMES FOR AWHILE MORE.  The point is that you are practicing multiplication!

Now start learning division.  Remember that multiplication and division are best friends, but are also opposites.  With multiplication, you start with equal groups and multiply those groups by a number to get your product.  When you divide, you start with a total number and then act like you're in a card game and "deal."  Either you give a certain number to each player, or you know the number of players and deal out the cards until the total is done.  Here is a game that shows you how to divide:


Now for some writing journal practice.  Write a fiction story about a magical snow day.  Is there magic in the snow and in the wind?  What happens to the characters in your story and what are those characters like?  Use your imagination to write your story.  Post your journal entry here.

Time for science!!! Learn more about the weather and climate by watching this Study Jam.  Take the quiz, then fill out this form.  Remember that you can write your answers on paper to turn in later, too.

Optional experiment
  Today you'll see how it can freeze almost instantly!  Get your parent or and adult to help you with this and be sure to BUNDLE UP when you go outside.  
Run your tap until the water is quite hot.  Fill a large cup or glass, then color the water with food coloring.  Go outside and hold on to the cup or glass and throw the water up into the air (carefully, please!).  Watch how the water freezes.  You might see the colored pieces of ice lying on the snow.  Cool, huh?  Record what you did here.

I hope you enjoyed learning today!
