For 9/17- 9/21


Monday FreeRangers


Language Arts
  • Read chapters 6-9 in Northern Lights.
  • When the book mentions a location, see if you can find it on your map.  Highlight any place that is mentioned.
  • Complete the vocabulary sheet for chapters 6-9.  Use this as practice looking up words in the dictionary!  (Don't worry about writing all of the words in the definition!  Find the meaning that our author is using in the book and just write it in your own words.)
    • They did a GREAT JOB with the Chapters 1-5 vocabulary words in class! 
  • As you read about places, plants, and animals in your book, add them to your (GREEN) Field Guide!   You have three sections that we created.  Just add information that you find You don't have to write a lot about them, unless you find them really interesting!  (Make a Canada page!! You'll have a LOT to add as you read!)

     Grammar
  • We talked about NOUNS in class.  A noun is a word that is a person, place, thing, or idea.  Explain to your parents how a noun can be an idea.  Can you think of some examples?
    • Here is a game to help you practice identifying nouns!
    • Try this one!  Pop the bubbles for each noun.  (Choose "Identify the Nouns in the Sentence" to begin!)
Geography
There is a worksheet in your yellow folder.... THROW IT AWAY!  I looked through many sheets, and this one was supposed to be on an easier reading level... but it does not have accurate facts!  Just throw this away!
Use this one, instead!!
  • If you didn't watch the videos and learn about last week's geography material, you might want to go back and catch up!
  • Here is a silly video that helps you remember the seven continents!  We will be talking about them more in class... and we will soon start to spend time studying each continent!

Science
  • If you completed the sheets from last week that went along with the website, please put them in your 3-ring binder so you don't lose them!
  • If you didn't read through the websites last week, go back and catch up!  It will be hard for us to play the games, do the activities, and have discussions each week if we don't do the at-home assignments.
  • I gave you TWO half-sheets of paper in class.  They are in your yellow folder.  The first one says "Classification".  Read the directions and jot down all of the words you can think of!  You can even go back and review the website from last week to spark your memory!  You can even color this sheet to make it stand out... we will be doing something cool with it in class!
  • You have another sheet that has three columns: Know, Want to Know, and Learned.
    • In the first column, write down things that you already know about classification. Some of you have learned about this before, and we have also talked about it in class.... but don't worry if you don't have a lot to write here!
    • In the middle column, write down anything you want to find out about classifying living things.  Do you have any questions?  Anything you want to learn?  Write it here!
    • Leave the third column BLANK!!!!
    • Put these in your yellow folder and bring them back to class! 

Farm Fusion Journal Assignment  Choices
  • Imagine you are a hen or a rooster.  In your own words, describe the molting process.
  • Write a story or a poem about fall on a farm.  (It's not just about the weather... Remember, we talked about how the days get shorter?)
