ER Day 29

Today we will:

Watch a movie on digestion

Take a timed math facts test (Set the timer for 1 min and work until it rings. You should be able to do 36 problems with zero mistakes in one minute to move up to the next test)

Play a math facts game (this should be the same set of facts you are testing on tomorrow)

Write a fairytale

Learn how textiles are decorated and about how fabric gets colored--and dye some hankies yourself

Learn about how families change

Learn that "not" is never part of a verb phrase

Make a bar graph and a pictograph (do both activities; click on "Find out")

Learn how to use the oven to bake (Adult: the online lesson doesn't cover preheating the oven; you might need to cover this yourself while you are cooking together)
