Distance Learning:  week 3  Thursday, April 2
Good morning. class!  Please begin our class time offering a silent prayer for your classmate while holding your cross.
"Show and Tell Tuesday"continues next week.  The theme for Tuesday, April 7 is "Share signs of Spring pictures". Please send your photo on April 7 to pictures@hnomschool.org  
Religion:  We are learning about Holy Week this week so we are ready for Palm Sunday.` The Church remembers Jesus' gift of saving us.  Pray a few different Stations than you did this week.  Name the Station, use the the prayer on p. 344, then be quiet for a minute, then pray your own prayer from your notebook.  The Stations of the Cross are on p. 383.  Today and next week you will be reading about the Easter Triduum.  The Triduum is a Latin word which means 3 days.  This time is from Holy Thursday evening till Easter morning.  Please read p. 346 about Holy Thursday and talk with your parents about the Last Supper.  We celebrate the gift of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday.  Remember your 1st Holy Communion day.  Can you remember how excited you were to receive Jesus for the 1st time?  That is the excitement of Holy Thursday!
ELA:  Please continue to complete a story on Raz-kids each day.  If you can do more, please continue!  I check your progress online.  Most of you are using this link daily!  Congratulations! Raz-kids should be used with the read choice.  This gives you a short quiz after the selection.  I will know what are your strong skills and your weak skills. Remember to use only your own login for your online work.  Also check Mrs. Magno's page for more Reading sites.  Her site is for everyone.
Vocabulary:  tourist, organist, lioness, shipper, chemist, investor, conductor.  Write each word caefully in your notebook.  A few students have copied the word incorrectly from your computer screen!  During this time of distance learning we are always using computer skills as well as our subject skills.  Use each word in a sentence.  Some of these words may be new.  Use a dictionary if you do not know the meaning of a word.  Today we will read a good story.  The genre is biography.  You will read multiple meaning words.   Read p. 124-139 in your Reading Street.  This is a story about a champion swimmer. 
Math:  Today we continue Lesson 6-6.  You will again try to find the area of irregular shapes.   Draw a grid using a ruler and break the shape into rectangles.  Then use the skill you know to find each area, then add the areas.  Try p. 335 and 336 for today.  Please explain how you found the answers on p. 336.  Persevere with the word problems.  You are really getting better at them. The online assignments are to help you understand the work better.  They also show me that you can work independently.  I have added new work on pearsonrealize.  Some of you are not working on the online assignments!  They must be done!  Your do not have to download or print anything for the "quick checks".
Science:  I hope everyone is now enjoying the Cincinnati Zoo.  The animals are still showing at 3:00 daily.  This week you will be using your notebook for Science.  You will be combining Social Studies with Science.  Name your animal.  Locate its natural habitat by continent.  Describe how your animal interacts with people in that region.  Your Science notes will include a description of the habitat.  Is the animal population safe, endangered, or near extinction?  How are zoos helping these animal populations?
