I hope that you are enjoying our snow day vacation. If we are in school tomorrow (Fri. Jan. 30), we WILL have the science quiz and the spelling/vocab. quiz. If the kids are bored and driving you crazy....here are a few excellent extra credit project ideas:
Comic Strip: Create a 6 panel comic strip story about your snow day adventures - or a topic of your choice. Make sure that you include dialogue with your pictures and that you illustrate in color. The comic strip should have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Short Story/ Creative writing: Write a story - topic of your choice - just enjoy the process of creating a story.
Math: practice your measuring skills: bake or cook something (with parental supervision)
This would be a great time to practice multiplication/division flash cards!!
Social Studies: Current events: Find and interesting news story - write about it - tell why this story is important, what effects it has on the U.S., on the world, and on you.
Find out some neat facts about the state of Ohio. Make a list of these facts.
Science: Study for the quiz.
Our next unit will be about weathering and erosion - find out how trees help prevent soil erosion, investigate the effects of snow, ice and rock salt on the soil/roads and land...
Reading: read something that you enjoy
Build Something! Is this good "packing snow"? Make a snow sculpture contest - take photos of your creations. Try to build an igloo or snow fort.
Do a Mitzvah - Help with the snow shoveling, help someone dig out his/her car, help Mom and Dad with the housework, read a story to your younger siblings, give lots of hugs...help with the Shabbat preparations
I hope that you have a very enjoyable snow day. Maybe we will be in school tomorrow.
