What questions do you have? (I wonder…)
What is going on in this picture? (I think… or Maybe…)
What do you see that makes you say that? (I think…. because…)
What more can you find?
Last week’s photo explained:
The Falcon Hospital waiting room has perches for birds and for humans.
Last week’s photo explained:
Last week’s image comes from the Dec. 19, 2019 article “Welcome to the Falcon Hospital. Please Take a Number.” The story is about a state-of-the-art falcon hospital in Doha, Qatar, which offers scans, surgeries and a link to a centuries-old pastime: falconry.
b.) Literacy – Mother’s Day
(Moms – please try your best to avoid viewing this document! 😀)
You may work at your own pace or follow my suggestions.
I suggest working on the publishing stage today.
I highly suggest that you hand print your poem to your poem. Create a background and fine-line (or use thing marker) if it is available to you.
Please view this file: MOMS DONT LOOK – Mothers Day Template
If the file above does not open, try this file: PDF MOMS DONT LOOK – Mothers Day Template
c.) Math
Please continue your math program.
Khan Academy, IXL, worksheets, etc.
If you would like support/guidance on a math program, please contact me.
d.) Reading
Read for at least 20 mins.
If you would like to activate your thinking even more while you read, I suggest following one of these roles:
- Connector: What does this part of the book remind you of? It can be connection to yourself, others, the world, or other text (books, movies, plays, stories, song, etc).
- Sketch Artist: Visualize — draw what you read using clues from the reading.
- Vocabulary Seeker: What words are interesting? What words are new to you? Find them in the dictionary.
Additionally, consider listening to an audiobook as well.
Try Audible (free online) or Libby (access local public library audiobooks). I am currently using and loving Libby!
Extension Activities (optional)
e.) Genius Hour (optional)
Continue your Genius Hour project from last week. If you have completed it or are just starting, here is the planning sheet to start a new inquiry:Genius Hour Planning Sheet
Follow these steps:
Brainstorm – what topics interest you? Write down topics that interest you (e.g. birds, palm trees, global warming, Jupiter, etc…). Select one to focus on this week.
Question – What deep questions do you wish to explore on your topic? (e.g. how do birds fly?)
Research – How are you going to find answers to your questions? With limited variety of resources, it will likely be online or an interview with an “expert” on the topic (perhaps family/friends).
Present – How are you going to share your knowledge? Please come up with a a way to briefly present your project. This may be through a speech, slideshow, poster, poem, comic, video, song, etc.
Share – Practice your presentation and share — either to me, family/friends, to the class during Sharing Circle.
Please follow the following planning sheet to guide you through your planning and research.
f.) Makers – Boat (optional)
Please refer to the following document: Makers – Boat
This will also be available on Microsoft Teams.
Please take a picture with a description and send it to me or share it during sharing circle.
Have a good Tuesday,
Ms. Daneshwand
I think the man is really hurt and I think his leg is hurt from a car accident. I wonder why people are looking at him but not helping him ? I wonder if people are afraid to help him.
I think someone did something /shot him or he just got really hurt . And I wonder if those people are helping him or just are scared of him.
I wonder how they got into the stadium?
I wonder why the man is holding the stick?
I wonder why the people are watching the man?
I think 🤔 the man tripped because he’s laying on the ground.
I think 💭 they are in a stadium because there are stadium seats in the background.
I wounder if they are investigating something and maybe the man on the flour is the investigator.
I wonder why the man is lying on the ground. Maybe he got hurt badly. I wonder why the people around not helping. Maybe they just don’t want to. I think it is bad because they are all backing up. Thank you.
I wonder why that man was laying on the ground
I wonder why everyone was crowded around him.
I wonder why that man was holding a stick.
I think 🤔the people are playing a sport that involves a stick and then that man got hurt.
I think 💭 that the man is really hurt
I think this guy has fallen out of the chairs in the stadium so the people have come to help him
and the guy with the stick was playing in the game and he was also helping him
What questions do you have?
Why is he on the ground
What is going on in this picture? (I think… or Maybe…)
I think it is war
What do you see that makes you say that? (I think…. because…)
Because it looks like the men are holding guns
What more can you find?
Nothing
i think that person is trying to hurt someone but someone else hurt him. i wonder why the people because the are holding sticks in there hands.
It looks like a stadium and that guy on the ground looks he lost something.
I wonder what are they doing????
I wonder why the man is laying on the ground????
I wonder why is there’s a crowd of people????
I think the man is hurt.
I think they’re acting.
I think that man fell off his chair and the man with the stick was the person who made him fall off his chair and everyone else is going to help him get up. the man is probably hurt a bit on his tummy
Why is the man lying down on the ground?
Why are there people crowded around the man on the floor?
Maybe the people are acting.
I wonder why one is person holding a stick?
1. I wonder if he is dying
2. Maybe he is hurt
3. I wonder what are in their hands
4. I wonder why people are watching the man
5. I wonder why people are in a line in the background
6. I wonder if he needs help
7. Maybe there is a cop in the background
8. Maybe he is in trouble and trying to crawl away
1. I think he is in trouble and trying to get away from the cops. People are in a line for something in the background. There is something in their hands. He might be hurt to. He might be dying. I think there is a cop in the background because maybe the man might be in big trouble
