Monday - April 8, 2019

Our Learning Quest this week!

We started our week with new learning challenges! 
This is our roadmap for this week:


Ask your child what they were able to complete today!
If you your child was away, please find the details about our weekly tasks here (Note: we haven't started all tasks in this link, yet).

Calvin's Thought of the Week:
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

Albert Einstein


Grammar Lesson
Today we review some of the rules of verb tenses: Past, Present and Future.

Writing Challenge  
Also, this week, we will be writing three short stories for each verb tense.

Past
Write about a time you helped someone learn a new skill. What did you do? How did you feel? How did the person you helped respond?

Present
On their first visit to the planet, aliens find your backpack. What would they discover inside your bag? What do you think they might guess was the purpose of each item? What might they guess about your life?

Future
Write about a place you hope to visit one day. Why do you want to go there? What would you do on your trip? Would you take anyone with you?

Science | What is a sound?
We are learning more about sounds and why some sounds high and some sounds low.
