February Tuition is Due

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.)

Registration forms for summer classes and signups for summer (and school year) individual and small group tutoring are available at http://freebirdfarm.com.

Valentine's Party will be Feb 8th and 9th.  Rosters for each class will be send via email.  If you would like to send in a treat or snack to share during free time, just send me a text or email and I will add it here to avoid duplicate items.   We will supply the bags/boxes for Valentine collection.

(We would love a few soy-free/corn-free and artificial dye-free options for Monday's class.  Also, please ANY NUTS, peanut or tree nuts, for Monday's class.  Tuesday's class could use some gluten-free & dairy-free options.  Thanks!)

Farm Fusion Story Ideas:

• We have new pigs (hogs) coming to the farm on Friday, so you'll meet them when you come next week.
• The baby bunnies will be opening their eyes soon.  We talked about how baby bunnies are called "kits".  Their moms are called "does".  
•  Smalls the Pig escaped on Sunday!  I had to go get him all the way up the road.  SO many of my neighbors called, texted, and messaged me about him being on the loose!

 

• I set up a live stream on the Freebird Farm website.  I'll move it over to the incubator to try to catch the emu eggs once they get a little closer.  Until then, I'll just move it around to active parts of the farm!  Click here to go to the Live Stream page on Freebird Farm's website- http://freebirdfarm.com/wp/media-2/ 
  

 

Handwriting

• The majority of kids are not doing any of the handwriting assignments at all at home during the week.  Hopefully, they are working on writing at home with parents, instead of participating in assignments for class.  I'll keep trying to help in class, but there is no way that I can help teach children how to correctly write when I am only with them once per week.  Since it's not possible for me to keep assigning page numbers, I will have students that are doing the work to continue to complete 2-3 pages per week, at home.  For those participating, I am checking each students' progress and working with them on problem areas. Many students told me that they never even know there are any assignments for my class.  

 OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES:

• Help your children count coins/money.  We have been working a lot on adding money with coins!
  
• Check out this BRAINPOP on Snowflakes! 
  
•  Kids in class were wondering how people were able to look at snowflakes under a microscope.  Here are some instructions for doing it yourself.... if it ever snows!
