I look forward to seeing all of your hard work. Have fun!

Happy Thursday! Today is your last day of distance learning for the week. I hope you will take some time to pray and thank God for the sacrifice of His Son tomorrow as it is Good Friday--the day that Jesus was nailed to the cross for our sins. This Sunday is Easter Sunday. What a gift we have to worship God freely! I pray that each of you will feel God's love this weekend. If you don't already have a church to attend or your family hasn't been watching a church online, I'd love to invite you to watch my church, Ingleside Baptist at https://www.ingleside.org/live/. Happy Easter! 

1. Watch this video:

Hello! I sure am missing seeing you. I need some more hugs, I need to see your smiling faces, and I wanted to try to reach your goal of filling up my window with Mrs. Martin's prize stickers! However, I know that God has a plan in all of this. I am going to plan something FUN for when all this has passed us. Know that I love you with all my heart!

Complete your assignments in this order:

1. Watch this video:
https://youtu.be/F4dZ7HV2uPg

2. Complete the types of mountains flapbook. This is a grade. You will need to take pictures of the front and under each flap and email them to me in ONE email. I have uploaded an example here if you'd like to print this...it should be printed 2-sided. Otherwise follow my video instructions on how to fold your flapbook and where to write everything.

Notes: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/174CYztQb42oxLJnetBOMBNiMATKtQOEMNBOGgevS5is/edit?usp=sharing

            1. Get a sheet of white copy paper, white construction paper, or notebook paper.
            2. Fold your paper long ways, what I refer to as "hot dog style".
            3. Create 4 equal flaps. (It helps to cut the top paper in half and then divide the 2 sides so                        they will be equal.)
            4. Write the title of each type of mountain on the outside of each flap.
            5. Write each definition (all bullet points from each slide) on the inside, top flap.
            6. Draw a picture of the type of mountain on the inside, bottom flap. Label your drawing as                      to where that type of mountain can be found.
            7. Add color.

3. Complete the textbook scavenger hunt to go with the pages we read yesterday. Remember you can use the textbook pages to help you. We will go over the answers together tomorrow.

Monday, April 6, 2020

Welcome back to my distance learning classroom. I hope you had a wonderful spring break and that you were still able to find something fun to do! My family went to the strawberry patch, had dessert every night, played games together, watched movies, and spent a lot time outside (not on roller blades). :) It is time to get started with a new week of distance learning...let's do this thing!

Complete everything in this order:

1. Watch this video:
https://youtu.be/emk0nk7gM1Q

2. Read over the rainforest layers notes or flipbook that you created and complete the “Layers of Life” sheet for a grade. If you cannot print at home, you can draw the animals to the best of your ability on a blank sheet of paper and write their description and the layer they belong with. Please take a picture of your assignment and email it to me when you are finished. (If you have a scanner at home you could also scan it for a clearer image.)
