I am super sad that we can’t go on some field trips right now so I thought today you can go on your own field trip while at home.

Today is a field trip day. Everyone needs to go to Houston Zoo at https://www.houstonzoo.org/explore/webcams/

While you are there check out the Chimpanzees, Elephants, Giraffes, Gorillas, Leaf Cutter Ants, and Rhinoceroses. Take a picture of your favorite and write(draw) which one is your favorite. Then tell why you liked it.

Please make sure you are practicing your 1.Writing, 2.Reading, 3.Playing outside(social distanced) or GoNoodle.

Keep posting those amazing pictures of your activities! You will need skittles next week for a fun science experiment so plan ahead and try to get some the next time you run to the store. Have a wonderful weekend and see you all Monday.

Day 3 of At-Home Learning

I hope that you are all healthy and happy at home. Today I would like you to explore some fun math activities/letter activities that we were going to do in school.

1. I wanted to start working on harder patterns with the kids. We have been doing AB patterns(blue, green, blue, green) and now I want to try ABC patterns(red, orange, white, red, orange, white) or (dog, cat, bird, dog, cat, bird)
2. Watch this fun video and practice counting to 100! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TgLtF3PMOc
3. Build a fort!!! I want to see what kind of creations the kids can come up with. This is great for them recognizing spatial skills which is great for math!
4. Go on a letter hunt around your house and find the letter E/e and letter D/d.
5. Use playdough to make the letters or other objects in your house.
6. Put pudding, rice, flour on a cookie sheet and have your child practice writing their name or any letters they know.

Please parents remember to post pictures on the Facebook page so I can see the kids enjoying their activities. See you tomorrow.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! I hope you all wear some green and send me a picture. I am working on some fun activities for you boys and girls to do each day. Remember post pictures of your fun activity!!!

Today I want you to watch a book called “How To Catch a Leprechaun”. Do you think you can catch a leprechaun? I want you to make a leprechaun trap to try to catch a leprechaun.

****Parents (here’s your fun part) if you can get your hands on some gold chocolate coins, they have them at Walgreens, to put on the floor by your child’s trap overnight so that they can be surprised by it in the morning!! I did this with my kids every year and they love making a trap and finding coins, even though they didn’t catch a leprechaun. If you aren’t able to get gold coins then you could leave a few quarters by the trap. Please take a picture and share it on our facebook page so I can see their amazing traps!! Happy hunting.

We practice a letter a week at school, so I am going to review the letter we’ve already done this year so that hopefully they don’t lose anything they’ve learned this year. They are used to this, and they do well with the consistency of repetition. Hopefully you will get to see how smart, funny, talented, and kind your child is. The first few days they may resist a bit, because it is new. Stick with it, and tell them Mrs. Manwell said they need to do it. 

Please feel free to share pictures of your child earning at home either via the facebook group, or remind if you don’t want to post more publicly.
