Good morning families!
Thank you to all of you who were able to find time to join me and Mrs. Alzuhd for our virtual parent meeting. Being able to talk to all of you at the same time was VERY helpful for me in trying to determine what will continue to work well for both you and your children going forward.

Some of the things we talked about I will start putting into place next week (more YouTube videos you can watch when it’s convenient for you/your schedule… letter of the week… more daily activities in a variety of learning areas/subjects).

For today and the rest of this week I will continue with posting one activity per day. For today we are going to focus on science. I am including a video from YouTube with the directions for how to do this experiment. We are going to do sink/float. In this video, they use a separate container on a table filled with water. You can do this – or if you prefer – you can do this in the bathtub when your child takes a bath today.

For today, your child can watch the video of how to do the sink or float experiment. After watching the video, your child will need your help to choose items from around the house that are ok to get wet. Before putting an item into the water, talk to your child about if they think the item will sink if they think it will float. Ask them WHY they think it will float or sink. Then, have your child try and see if their guess was right or wrong.

Please feel free to send me pictures or videos of your child either doing the experiment or pictures of their chart when they’re finished. HAVE FUN!
