Announcements

Our next scheduled break will be Feb 15-18, correlating to Fayette County Public Schools. (If you ever need to view the class calendar, it stays posted at www.freebirdfarm.com under the Education link.)

Handwriting

Since we only had 3 out of 14 students write this week's Farm Fusion story or complete the electricity assignments in Monday's class (Tuesday class had 11 out of 14), I will repost from next week for anyone interested in sharing this week.
In class, we learned about electricity as we tested the strength of the electric fence. We discussed circuits, grounding, The kids made their own circuits to make a light bulb glow! Here are a few OPTIONAL activities if you would like to play around with circuits.
Here are a few ideas for this week's story! I LOVE hearing your stories, and so do your classmates!

If they are successful, our emu eggs will hatch around February 1st. Write a story about this unique animal hatching out on our farm. There's nothing like them here!
We read the story, "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" in class. Write your own funny version of your favorite fairy tale!
We talked about GUARDIANS of the farm in class. Create a super hero group, and come up with an action story!
As always, you can always write a story of your choice. 😃
Please work on handwriting as you write!

Handwriting

Complete the next 2-3 pages in your handwriting book. Be sure you are working carefully to correct and address bad habits. (If you did not work on it during the week, there is no need to rush and do this the morning of or the night before class. If it wasn't part of parent-led instruction, simply completing the sheets isn't going to be effective in helping your student with handwriting skills.)
