Bees and other fun homework!



Hello Families!

Thank you for all your support these last few weeks.  Here is a quick post to share possible home work and the link to the video that we watched on Friday.  We watched from about minute 2 to the moment when the queen bee heads out to reproduce.  It is an interesting Nova video, one which you may want to watch in entirety first to be able to support your child with any questions they may have.  The students are so interested in how animals and nature works!

Here are some fun homework options if your child is interested or you want some family fun:

~Make an instrument and then write instructions on how to make it.  Include what you will need as well as the steps to go about making your special piece.  Finally, give your instrument a special and descriptive name.

~Write down what you know about coins

~Practice summing up the quantities of a handful of coins

~Draw a diagram about the information from the bee video, "Tales from the Hive".  Show the steps involved in a process or share information in a graphic and interesting way.

~Bring photos from a recent trip or share something you discovered or learned over the weekend!

Have a fun weekend!  Love, Jennifer
