Update


Hello everyone. I hope you are all safe and well.
Currently we have not been give any information to give you but I will keep you informed as soon as I am informed.


I am currently at school in an empty classroom. Thanks for listening to the news and staying at home for now.  Until we know more, here are some things you can do to keep learning:

-read a real book to give your eyes a rest from screens
-play a board game, card games with family
-Build something if you have materials
-Plan and begin thinking about your arcade game using recycled materials 
-if you are healthy get outside and enjoy some fresh air with your family or at a safe distance
-play math card games (unicorn, you can print off a grid paper and play ARRAY CAPTURE)

-EPIC BOOKS will be available during the day
-RAZ KIDS. 
-Prodigy

In class we were already working on area and perimeter and were going to be starting on devision and subtraction this week and after spring break, so you might as well research those and try practicing these skills as you will need them in grade 5! If you have access to a printer go onto https://www.coloringsquared.com/free-coloring-pages-math-for-kids/math-fact-coloring-pages/ and pick out a few pixel art division and subtraction sheets to practice basic facts.

Math: AREA -
Length x width = Area (remember to try to multiply to figure out the area)

Can you 'map' out your room and figure out the area (using steps) for your room, bed, dresser, closet and any other bigger furniture?  You can just use a piece of blank or lined paper.  If you want, it could be your DREAM ROOM!  You could draw up a bird's eye view of your room.  Here is an example:

Science:
Read some SIMPLE MACHINE books on EPIC BOOKS to learn more!  There are lots.  Then with supervision, make a simple CARDBOARD ARCADE game that includes at least 2 simple machines.  We were going to have a building challenge this week of using a paper towel tube (wrapping paper tube), string, and a drink container filled with water to make a PULLEY!  Can you do it?  If so, take a photo and email it to me!  Have fun learning and creating. 

As the weather begins to improve start taking notice of the plant life outdoors and how spring changes the scenery outside. If possible help out in your garden and plant some seeds to see how they grow.

Simple machines

What Is A Lever? A  lever  is a simple  machine  consisting of a bar that rotates around a fixed point. The fixed point of a lever is called the fulcrum. Like other machines, a lever makes work easier by changing the force applied to the machine or the  distance  over which the force is applied. Classes of Levers Other levers change force or  distance  in different ways than a hammer removing a nail. How a lever changes force or distance depends on the  location  of the input and output forces relative to the fulcrum. The input force is the force applied by the user to the lever. The output force is the force applied by the lever to the object. Based on the location of input and output forces, there are three basic types of levers, called first-class, second-class, and third-class levers.  Classes of Levers Class of Lever Example of Lever in This Class Location of Input & Output Forces & Fulcrum* Ideal Mechanical Advantage Change in Direction of Force?
