 Announcements

Farm Fusion

• I can't wait to read your stories in class!  Here are some ideas for you:
•  Baby bunnies have arrived!  Baby bunnies are called "kits".  These are only three days old, so they have no fur and their eyes are closed.  
• If you were a seed sprouting in our garden here at the farm, what would you be thinking?  What would you see, hear, feel?  Do you think a seed would like to be in our garden?  Write a story as if YOU were the seed/plant!
• As always, you can write any story of your choice!
  

Handwriting

• Keep working on your handwriting! 
• Complete 2-3 pages in your handwriting book, but also WRITE in your at-home assignments with your parents.  It's a skill that takes daily work!

OPTIONAL Activities for home 

• Here is a game called Parts of Speech Quest.  This one is about NOUNS.  You will have to be able to read the screen to play this game!
• Here's a BrainPop video and activities on Pollination!  (255q / Brainpop)
