The kids started planning their plays today and they seemed pretty excited. Here's the assignment: write a very short play that re-explains why something in nature occurs. In preparation we watched a video called Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears. (It turns out mosquitoes want to know if everyone is still angry about some bad behavior in the past.) The examples we played around with were reasons why trees change color in the fall. (jealous of the flowers, don't want their leaves eaten, etc)
Tonight's homework is to do a page in their spelling packet, read their group book, and answer the questions at the back of the book. They DO NOT need to read another book to log. I hope their reading will help them imagine and plan their play.
