Hello! Here is today’s daily tasks, essentially a lesson plan for the day.
Before you begin, read through these updates and reminders:
- Your work completed today should be sent to me, via email. This can be scanned or simply a picture. This is so I can be grading work and still send comments back, as well as keeping you on track with your work and not getting behind. If you’re having trouble sending work please let me know.
- Ms. Nyyssonen and I will send a comprehensive list of all the websites and log in information that students will be using during this time. Some may require specific ID logins, so those will be sent individually in due time.
- We want each day to be a fairly similar to class schedules, so be sure to read through tasks carefully so you can prepare your books for the day.
- Please retrieve all your books from the classrooms, you still need: Bible, Bible workbook, Math Connects text book (in Mrs. Jorge’s classroom), Handwriting workbook, and any literacy book just in case they were left in your desk. Also, get any tools you’ll need for math, ruler, pencils, erasers etc. Take tools home so you can create a good set up at home and have all the supplies you need. Admin and office staff will be there 8-3pm Monday – Friday.
- 5A and 5B, Bible will begin on Monday. Please make sure you have your Bible workbook and Bible to be prepared.
Science update:
- DIY Instrument is due Wednesday, March 25th. You will need to email a video (2-3 min tops) demonstrating the two pitches your instrument can make and share the materials you’ve used.
- There will be a quizizz on Sound next Wednesday, March 25th. I will send the code on the day.
Mental Maths
This is a 15 – 20 minute activity. Here are some options to practice mental math.
- Group game, more than 1 player – Play ‘Buzz’ to practice your multiplication. Buzz is played by choosing a timetable and begin counting consecutively. When you get to a multiple of your timetable, instead of saying the number you say ‘BUZZ’. IF you say the number instead, you’re out. Try to be the last player! When you’re down to 2 people you can do a ‘splat buzz off’ stand back to back walk 5 steps and when you turn the first person to shot their arm out and yell splat, wins!
- This same game can be played to practice Spanish counting! instead of ‘Buzz’, say ‘Bah’
- Go to Quizizz and play any multiplication/timetable game and practice flashcards or an actual quiz for timing
- Use premade flashcards from Quizizz or Quizlet and play Around the World with siblings or FaceTime a friend to play with.
- Master of the Rounds: Round 1 – addition, Round 2 – Subtraction, Round 3 – Multiplication. With a deck of cards each person gets 10. Don’t look at your cards and when you begin, you and your opponent will flip over one card at a time and then solve. Play each round for 1 minute. If you don’t have a deck of cards, make one for now! decorate them but make sure you have 4 of each: Aces, 2 – 10, J, Q, K. Face card values, A = 1, J = 11, Q = 12, K = 13.
Numeracy
Objective: Use a number line to find elapsed time
Materials: Math-Aids worksheet, pencil/eraser, Youtube video, composition book
Activity:
In your composition book title: Elapsed Time, date, and write in the objective. Then the next heading, Elapsed Time Video.
- Watch this Youtube video on elapsed time.
Remember, elapsed time means the amount of time that has passed from the beginning to end of an event.
2. While the video is playing, it will ask you questions on what you think the time will be after an hour or two etc. When a question is asked, pause and answer in your composition book, then press play to check your answer.

3. Then, you will complete your worksheet that was given on Friday, titled ‘Elapsed time on a number line’.
4. If you are having trouble with this task, use either of these links to complete a Khan Academy activity which is a video and practice to support.
A. This one is to review time: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/early-math/cc-early-math-measure-data-topic/cc-early-math-time/v/telling-time-exercise-example-1
B. This one is specifically a break down on elapsed time: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-third-grade-math/time/tell-time-on-number-line/v/telling-time-problems-with-number-line
Science
Objective: create a diagram for instrument
Materials: Blank piece of paper, pencil, eraser
Due Wednesday, 25th with write up and video
Activity: Watch two videos on sound and based on the information begin designing an instrument.
You can skip to 1 minute in, they talk through materials and steps which is more helpful than the others which just show the process. You don’t need to watch through the entire video, they go through a few instruments so feel free to jump around and watch the instrument you’re interested in!
- Needs to be labeled with materials
- After construction, if original design did not work, continue to create new diagrams so show progress and adaptations. (refer to post ‘Sound Project – DIY Instrument for rubric)
