Next Week will be our last week of Zoom meetings.

We will celebrate all the summer birthdays on Wednesday.  Please make a birthday picture, and we will celebrate all that have summer birthdays.  Thank you!

Today we read UNDER THE GROUND.  Over the weekend you could draw a picture of something you thought was interesting in that story book.

CHRYSALIS WATCH DAY 12






GODLY PLAY

LETTER OF THE WEEK:  ALL THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET!  We have studied all 26 letters!  Hooray!  Sing the ABC song!

Abouna with a Letter Z tour around the classroom!






 MATH:

The Shape of the Month is a diamond.  A diamond shape is a rhombus.  A rhombus has 4 equal sides and opposite parallel lines.

Lila's number poem!

In spring time, Baseball games begin!  The game of baseball is played on a field that is shaped like a diamond!  Can you draw a green baseball diamond and label the Home plate with an H, 1st, 2nd and 3rd base?

The Number of the week is 9.  Speaking of baseball, there are 9 players on a baseball team and those teams play 9 innings!

Practice writing the number 9, tracing the number 9, or form the 9 with small stones or dough.

This week's card trick, find the number 9 card with a diamond shape on it.


A fun number activity with a hole puncher.  Write a number nine and punch nine holes, OR write a large 9 on a piece of paper and punch along the line of the nine.  Hole punchers are great for fine motor development.  Test the puncher first, sometimes they require too much strength to use.






Try this number joke:  Why was 6 afraid of 7?  Because 7 8 9!

Tic Tac Toe is a game with 9 squares!  3 rows of  3 equals 9!

It's Pizza Day!  Draw a pizza and then cut it into 9 slices.  Who will get the biggest piece?

 SCIENCE: Today is Day 11 on our Caterpillar watch.  I wonder if any have spun their chrysalis!






Day 1
Day 4

Day 8

Day 11, I think the Chrysalis will be formed this weekend!
This butterfly schedule has the dates at the top. The numbers in the squares are the number of days for each stage.  We are currently on day 12 of our caterpillar stage watching them eat and grow.  We should see a chrysalis any day now!  We can see webs inside the jar, that is a clue that they are getting ready to spin their chrysalis.  That will need 3 days to harden.  Then we wait 7 to 10 days for them to emerge from their chrysalis as a butterfly.  We are hopeful this will happen before our last Zoom meeting.  If they have not, we will schedule a viewing!  It is all up to Mother Nature.


Butterfly fact:  Butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.  They have taste receptors on their feet!  They have six feet.  What do we taste with?

Yesterday we talked about metamorphosis.  That is a big word, clap it out: MET A MOR PHO SIS..5 parts to that word.  A frog also goes through Metamorphosis.

Wednesday we talked about how a butterfly eats.  They have a proboscis, which is a straw-like body part on its head for sucking up nectar from a flower.

We are regrowing celery!  Yesterday we found a very small sprout.












MUSIC or MOTOR:

We hope to sing the songs below at Graduation
