Week 6

Last week, we had lots of positive feedback from many parents giving ourselves permission to take a step back from anything we felt we needed to.

This week we would like to support YOU and recognize all of your patience, creative thinking and energy you continue to put into our at-home learning.

THANK YOU!

We are thrilled that you chose to share your stories and pictures with us and keep us connected to your families.

An interview on Positive Parenting with Amy McCready (no relation to Ms. McCready). This interview offers tips to stay positive and calm, when frustrations arise. It is approximately 26 minutes.

We are excited to see so many friends logging into our Lexia Reading Program!

Let's continue this week building a Lexia routine of 10-15 minutes a day.

(When boredom or frustrations arise, and they will,

don't push the program, have a break instead).

Ms. McCready's family has been hatching baby chicks. Here is a Springtime Math Story.

(Can you help read the numbers in the story?)

Eggs stay in an incubator for 21 days. They need a heat lamp and someone to turn them 3 times a day.

Count how many eggs are in the tray.

Day 20

The shell of the egg gets thin as the chicks get ready to hatch.

This chick is working very hard to make his way out into the world. Sometimes it takes a short time like 2 minutes and sometimes it takes a long time like 2 days.

He worked very hard for a long time, pecking and sleeping and pecking and sleeping and finally made his way out of the egg. Here he is 10 minutes old.
