May 11- 15

How is everyone doing this week? I will be starting a new round of calls to check in. Also, don't forget our Google Meets on Tuesday! Grade fours are at 12:00 and Grade fives are at 12:30. Join if you can, even if you don't have a question. Let us know how you are and what you've been up to (and what you did for your mom for Mother's Day!)

Ok, here is this week's work!

Grade 4: 

Science: 
I would like to go offscreen this week and ask you to do a hands-on project to do with light or sound. This means I would like you to use materials ALREADY FOUND AROUND YOUR HOUSE to make either a periscope or a kaleidoscope both of which use light reflected in mirrors OR you can make a musical instrument which obviously uses sound.  Do not buy anything! Do not do all three projects!  Please watch these two videos for ideas and expectations: Part one and Part 2.  These are also available on Flipgrid. Code:  fc50f36f .  After you have made your project, show it to us using that same Flipgrid code. Try to talk about it in French (how you made it, how it works). 

Optional: 
Duolingo or journal or one of the French practice games (links are on the side bar of this blog.)

Grade 5: 

Reading: 
As I mentioned last week, this week I would like you to record yourself reading one of the leveled readers you've been practicing reading. Please do or share your recording on Flipgrid using this code: b7b32f30 . Please note that you will not be able to see your own video or anyone else's. Only I will be able to see them once they are submitted. Watch this video with suggestions on how to do this task: video . (I also e-mailed a link to all grade fives). 

Science:
Make a model of a human body system or a part of a human body system using things you have around the house. You may choose to do the same model as I do in this flipgrid video or you may choose to do all or part of another system (for example, skeletal, digestive, circulatory (blood), or nervous system). Please try to make part of your model "work" or move in some way as the lung does in the example model I made. When you are finished, show and explain your model in French (how you made it, the various parts and a bit about how they work) on Flipgrid using this code: b806f70 . 

Optional:
Duolingo or journal or one of the French practice games (links are on the side bar of this blog.)
