Hi fifth graders and families!
Happy Snow Day! Please take some time to enjoy this day with your families! Here are some activities to engage with to keep your brains warm today:
- Write some poetry! There are plenty of good wintery weather themed words that make for good acrostic poems! Think: snow, slush, ice, sleet… Try your hand at other rhyming poems or poems with alliteration (snow, slush, ice, sleet – hear that repeated “s” sound?!). Remember the poem about galoshes? Try to make a similar one about snow boots. Or snow shoes… Or snowmobiles… Also remember that haikus are traditionally about nature.
- There is a movie and a Nearpod activity about magnets on the GoogleClassroom Science page. Feel free to use them to explore magnets before we learn about them! The Nearpod activity has some fun interactive elements.
- Play some games on https://www.icivics.org/games. You don’t need to create a profile or account to play the games and the “Win the White House” game can be quite challenging! Good luck!
- Play the Homebase game on the Scholastic website
- Typing Club, code.org, Xtramath, and IXL are always available. Remember that IXL has games now – there are some part-of-speech games that you all could master now that we’ve covered all of them!
- You can get a head start on your next reading assignment or your Spelling work for the week.
- If you haven’t finished your social studies project – this would be a good opportunity to do so!
- Curl up with a warm blanket and a good book or audiobook.
Stay safe, stay warm, and have a great snow day!
Mrs. Verney
