          only planet that has life and water. 
        -Germs: microscopic invaders that can make you sick and are so
          small they can only be seen using a microscope.  
         -Microscope: a tool used to help us see tiny things that we can’t see    
           with our own eyes, like germs.
        -Pollution:  putting trash in places where it does not belong and
         making it dirty. Making places dirty could harm or hurt people and
         animals. People and animals can become sick from pollution.

Monday, March 30th: 
-Happy Monday and welcome to a brand new week!

Literacy/Writing:
- This week we will be exploring the letter T and the number 9. 
     -The letter T is a friendly letter. It has only one sound.
     -T says “tuhhhh” like tummy, tall, top, tomato, toy, toe, turtle, and
      touch. It says “tuhhh” like our friends Toshnique, and Talaiyah. 
     -Practice writing the upper and lower case T and t. (This can be done on
     any type of paper. No lined paper needed! And using any writing tool.)
     -Search for 5 items beginning with the letter T around your home. 
 

Math: 
-Practice counting 9 fingers. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
     - Write the number 9 
     - Count 9 items and put them in a group or line them up. 
     - Write the number 9 and draw 9 dots next to it. 
            

Science/Discovery
-Today in class we would be exploring a new vocabulary word... Pollution.
     -Last week you read all about Gary and Harry and their under water
      adventures. You also explored how to keep their ocean home free of  
      trash. Trash made the ocean dirty and filled with pollution. 
    - Pollution:  is putting trash in places where it does not belong and
      making it dirty. Making places dirty could harm or hurt people and
      animals. People and animals can become very sick from pollution. 
     -In “Gary and Harry” their ocean home was polluted with garbage. Gary
      got hurt by a plastic bag that did not belong in the ocean.  

-Ask your child if there are any other places besides the ocean that could be dirty with trash? (Land and the Air) 

-Explore the images below. With your child match each image to either Water/Ocean Pollution  and Land Pollution. 

    

   


-After matching have your child choose one water pollution picture and one land pollution picture
     -How can make each image better?
     -How can they solve or fix the water pollution problem?  
     -How can they solve or fix the land pollution problem?
     -What could happen to the animals in the ocean if they lived in dirty or  
      polluted water?

Tuesday, March 31st: 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​Literacy and Math: 
​​​​​​-Continue to practice writing upper and lower case Tt. 
-Search for objects around your home beginning with the letter T. 
-Continue to practice counting to 9 and making groups of 9 using various objects around your home. 

​​​​​​​Science/ Discovery: 

​​​​​- How quickly can our Ocean/ water become polluted?
     -In continuing to explore pollution students will create their own
      “home ocean” and pollute it. In order to understand how to
      keep our oceans clean, we must understand how they get dirty.  
      Your children will become “LITTER MONSTERS.”
     - Parents this is a week long “project” and the materials needed
       can be found in your household. 

Materials: 
      -Water                  -1 Small toy (ex: car, small figure, small doll)         
                    
       
- small bin (plastic shoe bin or can be substituted with a deep bowl)
  Or  

-Step 1: put small toy in bin or bowl

-Step 2: fill bin or bowl with water. Enough water to fully submerge and cover the toy (toy should not float and water should not spill over the bin or bowl as you may want to move the bin/bowl to a new location during the week). 
**hint: this bowl with water is your “clean ocean”**


-Step 3: draw a picture of your water filled bowl and have your child  label it “Day 1: Clean Ocean”. 


-Step 4: have your child throw 1 piece of trash in the bowl.

-Step 5: throughout the day and throughout the next 4 days have your child continue to randomly throw trash into the bowl (trash can include snack crumbs, candy wrappers, small pieces of paper, any other small piece of trash).

**hint: Parents you may help your child pollute their ocean by also sneaking in small pieces of trash (when previously done in class we have sprinkled dirt and pieces of cereal into our “ocean”... various herbs and seasoning can be used to mimic dirt)*** 

CONTINUE PROJECT EVERY DAY UNTIL FRIDAY!
