Memorization
Snowball
By Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first it wet the bed.
Shuffle Dance
Here is the link for a bunch of shuffle dance steps. You can practice any and all of them if you want.
Make A Movie Trailer
Step 1.
Step 2.
Research your explorer. Learn everything you can about him/her.
Step 3: Download Capcut. It is a movie trailer making app.
Step 4: Plan out your movie trailer. Think about action scenes you could act out. (You’ll probably need your siblings help for this.) Think of costumes, background, etc.
Step 5: Record your movie trailer. Fielding said the app is pretty easy to figure out. (Please call us if you have any questions.)
Reading
Finish reading Summer of the Monkeys. This book is so delightful! It made me laugh out loud and there might have been a tear or two shed.
This book is full of hyperboles. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement. Can you look for hyperboles as you read? Write at least two of them down. The book is full of them, so they shouldn’t be too hard to find. Here’s one that I thought was funny:
Talking about the largeness of the monkey’s mouth, “To me, it looked as if you could have thrown a pumpkin straight down his throat and never scratched the peeling on one of his long teeth.”
Class:
In class we will discuss Summer of the Monkeys, watch everyone’s movie trailers and then we are going to learn magic tricks! What does this have to do with explorers? No idea. It just sounded fun! See you Thursday!
Lucy, Ellie! Happy 1/2 birthday to you!
Lenora! Happy birthday to you! (January 12th:)
