  3. OMA Enrichment Lesson posted to Dojo by Ms. Rechel

Math Lesson:

Puppets:

I *loved* seeing the puppets you made during last week's lesson!  I would love to share photos of you with your puppet on class dojo.  If you could send me a picture in dojo messages.  I would greatly appreciate it!  You can bring your puppet to each zoom lesson to help you skip count and practice math facts!

Writing:  

WE WILL BEGIN THIS ON WEDNESDAY TOGETHER.  Brainstorm before Wednesday with a family member.  HERE IS THE LINK TO THE WORK WE DID TOGETHER.  CLICK HERE.  Be sure to start your rough draft with 4 paragraphs.  FINISH YOUR CONCLUSION.

Weekly prompt:  Do you think kids should be able to have junk food?  In an opinion essay to share with your classmates and families, write about 2 major  reasons WHY or WHY NOT (pick one side) kids should or should not have junk food.   

Start with an outline!  REMEMBER:  A paragraph should have 3 or *MORE* sentences.  Try to avoid repeating words, phrases.  Then turn your outline into a rough draft.  Check it for errors yourself and then have someone else check and revise your work.  Rewrite using your nicest handwriting.

 Your essay should have:

  • 4 paragraphs (introduction, 2 body paragraphs (one for each major reason), and a conclusion)
  • An introduction that includes an attention getter, topic sentence, and a sentence to state your star ideas.
  • 2 body paragraphs.  Each star should be a major reason and should use a transition.  The reds should elaborate, provide more evidence and explanation.  
  • A conclusion that begins with a transition.  It should restate your topic sentence in a different way.  It should close your essay for your reader.

Friday's ZOOM Lesson:

This Friday will have an amazing NEWSELA reading lesson about a MYSTERIOUS and EXCITING topic.  

We will end the lesson with a FRIDAY FUN hands on lesson.  We will be making MOON DOUGH!  This portion is *optional*.  If you do not have the materials, you can choose to simply watch me make it and write down the directions to make at a later date!!!!!  You will learn about recipes, fractions, and scientific inquiry. 

Materials:
Corn starch
Food coloring *optional*
Hair Conditioner
Mixing Bowl
Spoon
1/2 measuring cup
Container to store it in.
