Marvelous Monday, May 11


MONDAY, May 11, 2020, EDS at HOME

What a dandy way to end the week on Friday!  We got donuts and a pile of fun handwritten notes from our friends!  Thank you for such a terrific week.  We really felt very loved and appreciated!

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

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.

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.

SCIENCE: Today is Day 8 on our Caterpillar watch.  I wonder if any have spun their chrysalis!

We are going to be watching the life cycle of a butterfly.  We have read and talked about the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar.  What do you already know about a butterfly?





Above are the caterpillars on day 1, below is day 4.  Look how much they have grown!











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 5 of our caterpillar stage watching them eat and grow.  Around day 7 they will crawl to the top and spin a 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.


Make a butterfly headband with 2 antennae, or draw a butterfly with 2 antennae.  Talk about what a butterfly uses their antennae for.

Butterflies use their antennae to:

Find nectar.  They do not have a nose.  They use their antennae and receptors on their legs to find nectar in plants.

They are also sense light with their antennae.  They can tell the time of day, and day from night,  by sensing the position of the sun.  What do we as humans use to find the sunlight and tell the time of day?

They help them fly in the right direction by sensing the direction that the wind is blowing.

You may work on Ms. Bridget's Garden Lesson No. 3 worksheet posted above.

MUSIC or MOTOR:

We are putting together a S'more snack calendar countdown to our last Zoom meeting.  The calendar creates a pattern of pieces cracker, chocolate, marshmallow, cracker, and repeat.  Here is a fun song to the tune of ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI:

On top of my cracker
So yummy and sweet
I'll put on some chocolate
To make a good treat

Then comes the marshmallow
So sticky and soft
And then one more cracker
So it won't fall off

I put it together
So gently I press
If I squeeze it too hard
It will make a big mess

I'm ready to eat it
This thing called a S'more
Oh my it's so yummy
I think I'll have more!
