Farm Fusion Journal Options (choose one)

• I want to work on descriptive writing this week!  Think of any animal on the farm.  Think about it in great detail... how each part of it looks... how it smells... feels... moves...
• Now, describe it verb well!  
• But... don't tell anyone what animal you chose and don't mention its name or type in your paper!

Language Arts

• Click here to play a game!  Find the adjective, and feed that spider the fly!

Geography

• Last week, I gave you a copy of a new coloring sheet with the following countries : 
• Iceland
• Finland
• Sweden
• Norway
• Denmark
• Poland
• Czech Republic
• Lithuania
• Latvia
• Estonia
• Iceland
• See if you can color the countries and think about where they are located.  You can also watch further in the video from a couple weeks ago... he may say some things that help you remember!  (Europe has a LOT of countries!  We haven't had all of them... just look over the Western Europe and the Northern and Central Europe pages that you have been given so far, relax, and have fun!)

Science

• We worked in class on a mushroom dissection!  Use what you remember (or you can use online resources with your parents' help) and add this to your science notebook.  Use what you write in your notebook during class to help you!
• Remember -- Mushrooms don't have SEEDS... they have SPORES!
• Parents-- I made a "spore print" for the kids to see.  It is EASY and it WORKS, but it takes a full day to work, so we couldn't make any more in class.  If you'd like to learn how to make your own spore prints at home, check out this video.
