On a snow day -->"Choose
to learn great things. Look, listen, touch and feel with the intent to learn;
pay attention to what your senses are telling you, find answers to your
questions, visualize what you learn."(Mrs. J) We are all stuck in our houses today because it is storming outside. What great things can we choose to look at, listen to, touch and feel with the intent to learn right here at home? What can we take the time to let our senses teach us?
Suggestions: 1. Go on a treasure hunt for 'yellow'. List all the yellow things you can find and turn your list into a poem; draw a picture to go with your poem and submit it to our school writing contest.
2. Put two bananas or apples on the table in front of you. Write a description of each one; noting details: size, shape, markings, bruises, roughness, shininess, etc. See enough detail that I could read your work and know which piece of fruit you were talking about.
3. Lay on the rug in the living room with your notebook beside you. Draw/write and description of your new view of the living room. Pretend you are the family cat or dog or …… How would your life be different if you were mysteriously shrunken to 10 centimeters tall. ??
4. What are your ideas …………… please share!
I am going to do the treasure hunt for 'yellow' right now. Watch for it on my
next post! Happy writing! Mrs. J
