Home Learning Week 10 - Christmas List, Cupcake Face Mask, Green Poodle

Language Arts - Christmas Wish List

Brainstorming, printing legibly

Let's see if I get coal ashes or the presents I want.

Geography, Language Arts - Alberta

VLC Homework - Internet research: Alberta Flag; Dinosaur Provincial Park - Drumheller; Great Horned Owl; colouring 

Visual Memory

At VLC - look at pattern for 5 seconds; attempt to copy the pattern; look again, compare, articulate changes needed; cover up the pattern, attempt to make changes; repeat.

I do it in my mind.

Direction Drawing - Complex Oral Processing

At VLC, with two repetition cards, if needed: remembering vocabulary, categorical thinking, conditional thinking, following directions

Language Arts - Paragraphs

Converting mind map ideas into a paragraph with topic sentence, supporting sentences, conclusion and illustration

It's strange-looking. Did I make legs? Yes, I did. Maybe she will not notice that.

Have you seen a pink poodle before? Poor doggy. Seriously, Mom, poor doggy!

Math - Addition of 1 and 10, Subtraction of 1

Homework from VLC - Mental arithmetic: number line sometimes needed for subtraction

More Language Arts - Paragraphs

VLC Homework

I like that one; it's pretty - the colours.

Reading

Oral reading: Junie B. Jones - 1-2 chapters per day

Science - Reverse Engineered Lush Face Mask

Researching, watching video to find ingredients, instructions

I hope it doesn't look like diarrhea.

Peel mint leaves off of stem. Inspect. Use only perfect leaves. Wash off dirt (and bugs)

Trust a ladybug if you want aphids to be dead! They'll be willing to help you. They love aphids.

This is going to be strong. It might even hurt our face, Mom, right? The quicker way is to pull them off like this. The baby ones are much more tender and easy to get.

I wouldn't recommend eating an aphid. If you eat the bum that would be disgusting, right? The bum of an aphid.

I want to go cherry hunting one day.

Ready to blend

Mother load of awesome!

OK - that's faster than a cheetah! Don't put your nose in there!

Top: Lush mask
Bottom: home made

Mom - I think we found it out! I think we did a good job, Mom! Do you think your mom would be impressed? What number, out of 6?

I wouldn't recommend eating it - it has perfume and clay!

Holy guacamole! I'm doing a spa for you!

Home Learning Week 9 - Dogs, Earrings, Adding White

Language Arts - Dogs

Mind map homework from VLC - researching, writing topic sentences and paragraphs

Tater was a Labrador, I think. A bigger dog. Big, not small. All sorts of colours. Not like speckles... patches. It's a boy Mom, not a girl. He was a teenager. He was a very nice dog. Tater liked to fetch. 

Maybe he was murdered. Maybe. I don't know. Your cat was murdered. Who would murder a cat? Why did he did that? What did he do to him? Did Tater got murdered? Ask her!

Why can cats be so hilarious? They even dance sometimes. Mom - she does not have a cat.

Field Trip - Gift From the Great Pumpkin

Celebrating traditions, following directions, social interaction, communication, self-care

It must be rock and roll because today is a special day. I just got my ears pierced. Hey girl - I'm not lying!

People will say, "Are these fake earrings, AZ?" I'm like, "No, they are not. I actually have a hole in my ear."

Chelsey's going to say, "AZ there's something different about you!" And I'm going to say, "Yup - there's something different about me, for sure! I got my ears pierced!"

Art - Colour

Colour blending, adding white, experimenting

Oh my lord! What is this? Is this a mess, or is it fun, or what? I didn't know white made pink! What the heck - it turned grey! Look! Oh my lord - look at that! It even works on markers. Look at this, Mom, it's working! We're making science here, actually! Oh my gosh, that was so beautiful. I want to do more of the white. This is awesome. It makes it turn hot pink over here. It makes it turn purple! It's magic, though. I don't know how it happened, but it's magic. We used all our pencil crayons. You were planning to do that? Sneaky. I won't make fun of you. It's a mystery how colours do that. It's a science. Add some colour to your life.

Calendar - November

Saying the date: day, month, number, year; sequencing: days of the week, months of the year, ordinal numbers (first to thirty-first); temporal understanding/patterning: yesterday, today, tomorrow; printing practice: "X" from corner to corner, without "dots"; small, legible letters; executive functioning: keeping track of appointments, reducing anxiety and perseveration

Wait! We're sleeping at the camp? That's awesome! Did you thought we were going to sleep there? I did not know that!

Soaring Eagle Nature School - Salamanders

Birding, tracking, plant identification, survival skills, fresh air, physical activity

Hey friends - I want to show you something...

I saw a salamander - what they look like - when we were walking back to a place... the gravel one. The one that's up high. I saw a picture of a salamander on a post. You can see salamander in Pacific Spirit Park. But we didn't see one today.

Did you hear about them? They are related to snakes. They're not poisonous to us, right? Your skin wants you to scratch your body because it's itchy from the salamander's poison, but it won't kill you. The ones that Peter told us were this long, Mom. They have a glow: brown. They make their little homes in holes under trees. They eat meat - worms, insects, spiders and slugs.

More Language Arts - Aromatherapy

VLC Homework - uses of essential oils - researching, writing

A eucalyptus lozenge makes you not feel sick anymore. It makes you feel healed up. It makes you... I can't explain it. We should get some for my brother.

Home Learning Week 8 - Pizza, Alberta, Halloween

Reading

Oral reading, discussing, retelling

Junie B. is a little bit feisty, and a little bit funny at the same time.

Executive Functioning - Cooking

Planning, decision making, cutting, spreading, taking initiative

I literally just made a pizza on my own. That's impressive! Do you think I put a lot of effort in there?

Do you need a hug? 

You think about it, Mom. Don't try that at home - seriously Mom - don't try that at home when you were a kid: cutting by yourself is not safe when you were a kid if your mom didn't teach you the safe way.

Colourful Pizza:
Lots of ingredients: peppers, cucumbers, pineapple, pepperoni, capers, olives, mozzarella, crust. And tomato sauce! Don't forget that, Mom!

Bake 10 minutes @ 450ºF

Let's eat!
Yeah, let's eat! Don't write that down. Erase "let's eat" - Princess Manners! (OK - you can leave that in.)

Math - Addition and Subtraction
Printing - 8

Adding, subtracting using Math Playground Number Bars (virtual cuisenaire rods) - homework, VLC

I am learning quickly! Make the 14. Get the 9. Put it on the top or the bottom? What toys did I have have when I was a baby? What do I do now? 14 minus 9 equals blank... 5!

Geography, Language Arts - Alberta

Researching, writing, recalling. Mind map from VLC.

Homework - watch a Youtube video about Alberta and find three facts:

1. Alberta has buffalo. One buffalo, two buffalo. Don't put an "s".
2. Alberta has pontoon planes for landing on water because there are lots of lakes. Pontoons are not wheels. They look like big water skis.
3. Alberta's flower is wild rose. They are pink.
4. Alberta's licence plate says, "Wild Rose Country". There is a picture of a wild rose on it.
5. The BC licence plate has "Beautiful British Columbia" and a picture of the BC flag.

Recycling, Traditions, Communication, Art - Halloween

The interview was fine. You can hear it on Halloween day at about 12:30.

Here are some zero waste Halloween ideas:

A skeleton made of milk cartons. Somebody drank a lot of milk!

Cut out Mexican decorations - papel picado. That means punched paper. It is HARD!

Paper plates and garbage bags

It was basically a festival we went to. It's a pumpkin patch.

Pumpkins made of paper

 Language Arts - Paragraphs, Topic Sentences

What has an ice-cream sandwich got to do with a paragraph?
All I want to do is finish this one, then that's it!

Math, Gardening, Science, Fine Motor - Graphing Slugs

Adding 1, graphing, counting by 5,
comparing, colouring inside the lines,
physical activity, Vitamin D!

We found 120 slugs! That's a lot of slugs! Look how huge this is!

I want to play with Math Playground now. It's math, but it's a playground. It has lots of stuff there. It's fun. Let's go now.

Bye.
