We have had a very busy last two weeks. Yuko Larson, our cultural liason came and did a monarch butterfly project with us. We study insects in the spring so she thought it would be neat to write a letter to a school in Mexico where the butterflies migrate to. Then in the spring when they migrate back we will get a letter from the school back.
We also had the chance to have Andrea Beer come to our classroom and share her rock collection. She is an amazing lady with so many neat stories. She has traveled around the world and has rocks from many parts of the world. These past couple of weeks we have learned about rocks. We are learning what is made out of rocks, where rocks come from, why rocks are important and looking at different types of rocks. Keep a little box for special rocks that you find in your family.
Tuesday we will be going to the computer lab again. We went last Tuesday and we went on
raz-kids.com . Our password is sfratera in case you forgot. This is a great program that can be used at home. Today we checked out the ipads in our classroom. These are the apps that we used:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-spelling-magic-short-vowel/id429301553?mt=8
They are both free!
If you have an ipad/iphone/tablet at home, what games are favorites of your family?
Jack loves the iPad. He plays raz-kids, football, and watches some Disney shows on the iPad. His mom likes to play Words with Friends, check Facebook, work email, and surf the web on the iPad. The whole family keeps up with football scores for Fantasy football on the iPad. We use an app to set our line up and watch for updates. I think we are a little obsessed with football ;)
