Literacy

Materials: ipad/tablet, blue journal, pencil, colors

Please listen to the story about hearing. You Hear With Your Ears

Please listen to the sounds at Mrs. Conley's pond. Pond Sounds

What sounds do these children hear as they walk to the pond? Think about your pond in Tuscany. What sounds do you hear there? Go for a walk to the pond. Find a quiet spot to sit and listen. What do you hear? If you can't get out to the pond, close your eyes and imagine what sounds you would hear at a pond. Write the word "hear" at the top of your page and then draw what you hear. Make sure you label your picture and write the sound you hear it making.

If you are interested please enjoy this short video about the 5 senses from The Dr. Bionics Show. The Five Senses

Math

Materials: Items found in nature

Collect items you find in your yard (sticks, rocks, pinecones, grass, weeds etc) and try and arrange them from thin to thickest. Try and arrange at least 6 items.
Once you have arranged your first set of items, go and find 4 more items. Where would they fit in your line from thin to thickest? Add them to your line. Does it change the order?
