Things to do for 12/14 & 12/15's Zoom Class

 

 Announcements

December Tuition is Past Due

I am so sorry, but we WILL BE ZOOMING IN NEXT WEEK.  We have an interactive class with activities the kids can do as a class, even though they are at home.

Class begins at 10:00am Zoom Code-  303 590 1198

Don't forget your craft supply bag!

I really, really, really didn't want to. But, based on what I'm seeing in Fayette County Schools, the church next door which just closed due to cases, and what the numbers look like at Piedmont Fayette, I just cannot risk messing up Christmas for any of us.  (Basically, my OWN kids wouldn't be coming next week... and so, if I don't feel WE should risk messing up Christmas plans, I don't feel it's right to host class in person.)  I am trying SO hard to make things as magical as possible, and please know that I will never make the decision not to meet in person unless it was needed.  Thank you SO MUCH for bearing with me through all of this!

12/20-1/9 – Christmas Break

2/15-2/18 – Winter Break

4/5-4/9 – Spring Break

5/13/21 – Last Day of Classes

    • Print - pages Complete up to page 34
    • Blue Cursive Book - Complete to page 58
    • Red Cursive Book - Complete to page 41

 

Science

 

Grammar 

  •   We have studied common nouns, proper nouns, and adjectives. In our last Zoom class, I also mentioned ARTICLES. I told you a short poem. "Articles are little words. You need know only 3. The articles you need to know are: a, an, the."
  • In our online class, we will have an activity together on common nouns, proper nouns, adjectives, and articles. Review them with your parents if you need to!

Farm Fusion 

  • Alright, Zoomers!! I really would LOVE to hear your Christmas stories! You can write it about the farm if you'd like, but you don't have to. Here are some pictures to get your imagination flowing!

For 12/7 & 12/8

 Announcements

December Tuition is Due

Christmas Break - 12/18-1/8

 


 

**We have quite a few students that will be out the week before Christmas for travel, germ-precaution, etc.  Because of this, we are bumping our Christmas Hot Cocoa Celebration up to Dec 7 & 8.  If you need an alternative milk or alternative cocoa mix due to allergies, just bring it in that morning and our baristas can make it happen!  We'll have marshmallows, whipped cream, non-dairy whipped cream, candy canes, mini-chocolate chips, and caramel syrup for toppings.

 

It's getting COLD!!!  Be sure to dress in layers and wear coats, hats, gloves, etc so we can go outside!  Hats and gloves get lost easily.... put names on tags if possible.  Thanks!⛄


Farm Fusion Story Ideas

Let's see which class does the best job writing their stories this week!  Here are some ideas for you--

  • We have a new bunny on the farm.  She is a lop, and her name is Ponyo.  Write about this new bunny's first days on the farm.  Do you think she is nervous?  Or is she excited?  Be creative!
  • The temperature is dropping and it is COLD!!!  What do you think the animals think about ice and snow?  Write a story about it!
  • The chickens are FINALLY laying eggs!  We talked a lot about different ways to get chickens laying again.  Write about what we did and how it worked.
  • As always, you can get creative and write about anything you'd like.  We LOVE to hear your stories!

 

For those who missed the Zoom class, here is a link to the craft project that we completed with your paper bag of supplies!

 

Handwriting-

  • Be sure to practice your handwriting all the time!  Start letters at the top and work on creating good habits!  We'll get back into the book when we return to class.
