Monday 5/25Tuesday 5/26Wednesday 5/27Thursday 5/28Friday 5/29 Science Lesson(planned by Jen Matice)Rock Candy Crystals!! Objective: Students will understand and explain how crystals can form to create a variety of geometric shapes in nature.Video:Experiment Directions:Rock Candy DirectionsBorax Crystals DirectionsCrystals are formed in nature when liquid rocks cools and hardens. This is often the case in the igneous part of the rock cycle. Magma (Liquid rock) cools and hardens into different types of rocks.Some of our favorite everyday crystals: Quartz, Amethyst, Obsidian, Topaz are all results of liquid rocks hardening into crystals.Liquid hardens in a uniform and repeating geometric pattern which can create the beautiful crystals we love to find outside on our adventures.Independent practice:Students can perform Rock Candy Experiment above to simulate the growth of crystals. ORStudents can choose to complete Borax Crystal Experiment to simulate crystal experiment to simulate crystal growth.Links can be found above*Parent Supervision Required*Heat or stove will be needed to for this experiment to heat water to boiling!!! Social Studies LessonI can describe who Jackie Robinson was and why he is a famous American. 1. Watch the Brain Pop Jr. Video about Jackie Robinson. 2.

Look around your home or take a walk in your neighborhood. Make a list of as many shapes you can find in the real world. Math Mini LessonI can identify 2d shapes using their sides, angles, and vertices.Watch the Brain Pop Jr. video on plane shapes and take the easy quiz.Watch the video to review the terms angles, sides, and plete the Wixie by describing the number of angles, sides, and vertices for each shape. Reading LessonI can write my thoughts and ideas about a topic or a book I have readListen again to The Greedy TriangleComplete the Greedy Triangle response questions. Make a list of words that would describe the triangle over the course of the plete the Venn Diagram comparing the triangle at the beginning of the story to the end. Math Mini LessonI can identify 2d shapes using their sides, angles, and vertices.Learn about shapes with the StoryBots.Listen to the read aloud of the Greedy Triangle and guess what the next shape will be as you read.Create a poster of the different shapes with 5 columns. Make one column for the shapes: triangle, circle, square, rectangle, 3 more columns for number of angles, sides, and vertices, and the last column for real life examples. Here’s an example (You will have less shapes but an extra column for angles): Grammar LessonI can: Identify when a capital letter is needed.Listen to the song “When do you use a capital letter?”Complete the capital letter worksheets below by printing or writing on a separate piece of paperMath Mini LessonI can identify 2d shapes using their sides, angles, and vertices.Watch this video comparing 2d and 3d plete the Wixie by sorting 2D and 3D shapes.Search your house and find 2D and 3D shapes. Make a T-Chart and draw them. How many can you find? Here’s an example (draw the pictures of items you see in your house. Math FluencyI can add and subtract within 1-20 fluently.
