    Question for the Week:
    What can we learn about animal babies?

    Weekly Foundational Read-Aloud: 
    Over in the Meadow by Ezra Jack Keats

    The YouTube Link to the weekly Read-Aloud is located: HERE

    Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:

    • Why did the mother animals tell the little animals what to do?
    • There are two kinds of birds in this book: bluebirds and crows. What is the same about them? What is different?
    • The bees live in a beehive. Who do you think made the beehive?




    Learn at Home activity for today:

    Thursday: 

    An Egg is Quiet
    Watch and listen to the read aloud, Growing Frogs by Vivian French, located HERE. Discuss the life cycle of a frog.  Children that are ready can draw the life cycle! 


    Continued Weekly Activity


    Animal Babies:  Children can use recycled materials to create the animal babies that they are studying.  They can look at pictures found online to reference as they create. Children can also use recycled materials to create objects related to the animal babies such as food, homes, etc. Ask your child to tell you about their animal and add this as dictation to their project or invite them to add their own writing.  Please email a picture of any completed work to MsMcGarryCOVID19@gmail.com !


    Thank you to all the students and parents that have sent me pictures of the children's work!  I will be adding more pictures as they come in!
