May 14th/15th

STEM: This weekend, I am going to "assign" you a Camping Stem Challenge, attached below. There is no school tomorrow, but perhaps this can be your project for today and tomorrow. If you have not already stopped the school, make sure to stop by before 3:30 today to pick up the materials needed for this project.

Before you begin making your tent with the given supplies, first plan how you can build your tent so that it will hold up to wind, rain, and heat.
1) Complete the planning sheet.
2) Work to create a tent that will hold up to the elements.
3) Test your tent in the elements. Set a fan in front of it, pour a little bit of water on it and see if it holds up.
4) Answer the questions at the bottom of the worksheet.
5) Please, please send me photos of your tents!

Writing: Feel free to have children write this in their notebooks and draw a picture rather than using the PDF.

Math: Again, depending on which Jump Math you are working through at home, give these pages a try today. 

    * 2.1 pages 110/111

    * 2.2 pages 17/18

    * 3.1 pages 30/31

Sleep/Meditation: For those of you with children who struggle to fall asleep or who are feeling particularly anxious, the calm blog has some great meditations, music, and sleep stories. Sienna the Sleepy Sloth is a great one, but explore the blog! Sienna the Sleepy Sloth Sleep Story

** In this week's take home package was a lego-challenge calendar, for lego activities each to do each day. Please send me a photo of any you get completed! 

Please let me know if you are having any trouble with these pages, or with any concepts whatsoever and we can either arrange a Zoom Call, I can help over email, or I can make some video instructions to email to you. 

I hope you all manage to get outside for some fresh air this weekend - it always does the body and mind good!
