Good Morning Friends!

Here is the link for my message to you this morning! https://www.loom.com/share/7ff57315b14d4b81ab4443faf73b228b

Here is our LAST Morning Message! Don't forget to join in to our Google Meet tomorrow at 10am - I will post the link in your Google Classroom stream before the meeting. Have a wonderful Summer!

https://www.loom.com/share/84e5dd808a854134a057af86d350fc9d

Today, you will learn about a few different types of poems. Follow the instructions below!

1. Watch this video on what makes a poem and what types of poems there are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmkgAWAGtbE

2. As you watch the video, think about what type of poem you might be interested in doing.
A few poem options:
Narrative: tells a story
Free Verse: no rhyme or rhythm
Humorous: funny or silly
Lyrical: shares feelings and emotions

For extra information about poetry, you can watch the following video (but you do not have to –
this is for “Extra” practice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwhouCNq-Fc

Today you will write your own poem.
1. Open a new Google Doc to begin. At the top of your poem, somewhere with your title, please include which type (narrative, shape, rhyme, free verse or another kind you chose,) of poem you decided to do.
2. Check your poem for spelling and grammar, then turn in.

Open the below document to fill in your answers (make sure you read the poems first!)

Good Morning All! Here is the link: https://www.loom.com/share/b09ba496abdd4ec88d600367e03d7a2c

2. In the Reading Tab under Google Classroom, you will find the "BIKE POEMS RESPONSE" assignment. Open it and complete, then turn in.
3. Start to plan your poem:
- What kind of poem will you write?
- What will you write your poem about?
4. You may start writing your poem today if you’d like.

Write a paragraph (5 complete sentences, with capital letters to start the sentence and ending marks at the end of the sentence,) to tell me about a few things you did not like about third grade.

List six things that you really enjoyed about third grade (you can use numbers for this one, but please make sure you use a complete sentence with a capital letter at the beginning and an ending mark at the end).
Example: I really liked that we got to use markers in third grade. (Did the example have a capital letter, ending mark and tell you what I liked about third grade? Yes! All of your sentences should look similar).

Hello friends! It is Free Share day today. Share whatever you would like just as if we were sharing in class!

1. Today you will open a new Google Doc to start writing your Rough Draft.

You are not turning in your rough draft.

2. Fix any mistakes in your rough draft. Read through it one last time to make sure it makes sense and check for mistakes.
- Do you have capital letters at the beginning of sentences?
- Do you have ending marks?
- Do you have a title?
- Do you have quotation marks to show that your characters are talking?
- Do you have a problem and a solution?
- What lesson are you teaching your reader? (Remember: every fairy tale teaches a lesson!)

3. Turn in your Google Doc.

Today you will practice writing your own Fairy Tale! What make a Fairy Tale? Why don’t we just call it a chapter book? Look back at Fairy Tales – Lesson 1 and watch the video if you don't remember.

- Title
- Good/bad characters
- Setting (where does the story take place?)
- Problem
- Resolution (How is the problem solved?)
- Theme (What lesson are you trying to teach your reader or audience?) Look back over your daily question from last week where you shared three important lessons you've learned in life... you could use one of these if you want!

We are in Week 5 of distance learning and I think we can all FEEL that we have been distanced from our friends, school, the park and other people and places for a while.
This question has two parts:
1. What has been the hardest thing for you to deal with in the last week (this can be with distance learning, a sibling or family member, being bored, something you're struggling to learn... anything)?
AND
2. How are you persevering through this challenge?

Post a link to a current event here! (If you can, look through the posts by your classmates and try to post a different current event than they have posted.)

For this lesson, you will be working on writing your first draft of your research paper. Instructions are as follows:
1. Watch the video for this lesson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfuWM897mjI
- You should have already completed your Graphic Organizer and KWL Chart. These will help you write your research paper.
2. To start, open this assignment by clicking on "View Assignment" below. Then, click on "+ Add or Create", and select "Docs". This is where you will write your rough draft. Use all of the information you learned (and put on your Graphic Organizer and KWL Chart,) to write about your animal. You need to have at least two paragraphs with five sentences in each paragraph. You will need to include the following information in your research paper:
 Introduction (What animal are you writing about?)
 Appearance (What does your animal look like?)
 Habitat (Where does your animal live? Where in the world does your animal live?)
 Diet (What does your animal eat? Is your animal a consumer, producer or decomposer?)
 Behavior (What does your animal do?)
 Interesting facts (What is weird or interesting about your animal?)
3. After you have finished writing your first (rough) draft, check to make sure you have two paragraphs. Remember, a paragraph has five sentences. So, you will need at least 10 sentences. This does not mean that you put numbers to show each sentence. Instead, remember that all sentences should have a capital letter at the beginning and an ending mark at the end.

In this lesson, you will revise the draft you wrote yesterday. Follow the instructions below.
1. Watch the video on how to revise your paper here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsmqTJhFb_Y
2. Read through your paper and check off the following if you have it:

 Habitat
 Diet
 Behavior
 (possibly) Other interesting facts
