Special Area Assignments
4/27-5/1
Each day, students should focus on one special area. Our special area classes are a great opportunity for students to get a break from core subjects, supplement core subjects, and enrich their lives. We will collect and grade work on a weekly basis.
Monday – Media
NatGeo Kids Save the Earth
I would like you to explore this page that has 6 different sections to choose from, I would like you to look at about 2-3 of these sections and write down the top 3 tips to save our earth. There will be an assignment in Google Classroom for you to complete a Drawing with your top 3 tips and images that are about saving the Earth. Directions for assignment
Tuesday – Art
You may choose to complete an art iLearn course OR to complete an art project from my blog https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/homeart/ . The current iLearn courses are Self Portraits (enrollment code 5xdqty ) which will have projects for three weeks, or Digital Art (enrollment code 6xkf6w ) which has projects for two weeks. More information about how to enroll in an iLearn course can be found here . The iLearn courses have multiple projects in them, so they will take more than one week. If you choose a project off of my blog, you should do one new project every week. New projects are added every week. When you have finished your project you can email me a photo at brucep1@dearbornschools.org or message me a photo of it on Dojo. I am hosting an optional BigBlueButton hangout for Kindergarten, first, and second grades on the GP Specials iLearn page on Tuesdays from 2:00-2:45 where you can come to ask questions about the art projects, show me what you have created, or just to hangout! This sentence is a link to a video that shows how to enroll in our iLearn course. Feel free to also email me or message on Dojo with any further questions.
Wednesday – Enrichment
Thursday – Music
This week we are going to watch a Disney singalong together. You will be watching different songs then siblings in other grades, so you might enjoy watching each other’s. 🙂 We will watch three songs. You can watch it with me here. After you are done, please fill out the google form here. If you enjoyed the singalong and want to see more of it, you can find the rest here.
Links can always be found on my blog at Mrs. Lograsso’s Music. I am always available by email at lograsm@dearbornschools.org. I will be holding office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am to noon. Email me to set up a phone call or video chat during that time.
Friday – PE
Hi boys and girls,
I hope everyone is doing well. This week, please do the warm up below and try my video challenge and activity.
With the start of Ramadan, I know many of you will be fasting. Please do what you can. I understand how hard it may be. Remember, you can always take a break when you need it. Also, your activity time can be split. You can do 10 minutes in the morning and 10 in the afternoon or evening. Try doing some exercises in between taking breaks from homework. Count that time toward your 15-20 minutes of being physically active. Also, physical activity has shown to help improve thinking. So, get out, get active and have some fun.
Again, my goal is for you to get 15-20 minutes of physical activity each day. As was mentioned in my last assignment, you should be getting 60 minutes of activity a day. Under our current situation, I am asking you to do 15-20 minutes. There are many ways in which you can achieve that goal, one way is to do my warm up and activity. Others include walking, biking, dancing, playing soccer, football, or basketball. There are so many options. Look through my blog for more great ideas. Mrs. Masiarczyk’s PE Blog
You must do this:
I will need everyone to fill out the fitness log each day that you are active for at least 15-20 minutes. There are only 5 questions. It is very easy to complete. The fitness log is on my blog, top right corner. Answer the questions and submit. Remember to do this only if you made an effort to be active.
Now let’s get started!
Do these warm up activities before watching my video. Do 10 of each.
Jumping jacks
Scissor kicks
Criss cross jumps
Mountain climbers
Shoulder touches (like ABC shoulders)
Push ups
Jog in place
What you will need:
3 rolls of toilet paper
Small ball or a pair of socks folded into a ball and a bucket or basket.
