FARM FUSION
- 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!
- As always, you can always write a story of your choice. 😃
HANDWRITING-
- For this week, complete the next 2-3 pages in your handwriting books. I will be checking them and helping address issues as I see them!
- Also, encourage your child to write! At this age, even the youngest students in class should be writing at least a few sentences, even if they are copied. I know some children hate to write, but it's an important skill to be sure to encourage and work on daily.
SCIENCE
- OPTIONAL- In class, we talked about different adaptations that animals have to stay warm in polar climates. Come up with a model of a creative plan for a shelter using items that you think would be "insulating". You can draw it or actually make a little model of your shelter!
Optional Videos
MATH ENRICHMENT
- We worked on counting money in class, and it looks like a lot of our students really need help in this area! Spend some time working on the different values of coins and how to count them. Since it seems to be a problem area for most, we will spend some more time on this in class. (For those who already "get" in, we will break up into groups for individualized instruction/activities!)
- We will also be working on skip counting for the remainder of the year. Let’s start with the 2’s. Find a song that you like best!
