Free money may be given out when they least expect it. HHMMMM-something about true character comes through when I am not always watching!!
We continued our Lewis & Clark Expedition today. If your child can tell you whom was the best water navigator of the 2 and who Sacajawea's baby was, write it in the planner for free money.
In Science, we started a unit on worms. We will be doing lots with this and Jeff as he is coming to our school for some of this unit before we go to the Nature Center. Wow-I never new so many interesting things about worms. If your child can tell you 2 things about them from today, write it in the planner for free money.
Starting tomorrow in Math, we are going to begin Chapter 11 on Decimals & Fractions, along with the Metric Measurement system.
Today, we talked about a fun, little thing we are going to do on Thursday called "Egg Babies" to show appreciation to our moms, grandmas, etc. This will also give us a greater appreciation for all they do for us. Students are going to get a hard-boiled egg that they will name and take care of for the day. They are going to be responsible for it at all times and will have to pay if they need a sitter, for band-aids, to get it back if it is kidnapped, etc. They will be able to buy insurance at the beginning which will make any injuries cheaper. This is such a fun way for them to see a little bit of what goes into being a parent. Since not everyone has a lot of extra money, I am giving them $500 on that day and anything they don't spend, they can keep.
They will need to have a bed for their baby so they can start working on them now. Make sure not to make them too big so they don't fall off the desk and get injured.
Remind your child to use the appropriate writing techniques with nightly writing. Good paragraphs with all the components.
Have a great night and get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. We know too well how quickly it changes.
