Wednesday

News Quiz!
KET produces a student friendly news program. PBS Learning Media discusses about current events in our world but explains it in a way for young minds to process. I show this program often in my classroom, plus its FREE! This episode is explains COVID-19, International Women's Day, hippos in Columbia, hand washing, and National Reading Month.

Dear families with students who are pushing through N.T.I.,

Caves and Caverns By: Gail Gibbons

If you LOVE nonfiction books, then this book is for you!!

Have you ever thought about what is under feet…. Waaaaaay under your feet. Kentucky has what we call a “karst topography.” This is a fancy way of saying that the ground that makes up our beautiful state is made of a special rock called Limestone. Water travels easy through Limestone and causes the rock to break up and create caves. REAL caves! All throughout Kentucky there are caves everywhere! Here are a few links that you could click on and do some research on caves right here in Kentucky:

Mammoth Cave

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Let's be honest, teaching is hard. Explaining something that you don't understand is even more challenging... The upcoming weeks are going to try our patience. Parents, do what you can. As a teacher of 18 students I get to see success 18 different ways, 6 times, in 1 school day. Each child learns differently (we all know that)... However, you know your child best. If you see that they are getting tired, that glazed over look is setting in, or the tears have started to fall then take a step back. Take a minute, an hour, take a whole half day off if your child needs to reset. Sometimes the best learning moments are in your backyard in the sunshine. With that being said, "Capet Time" is cancelled today. Enjoy the fresh air!

With Love,

Ms. Cypret

Happy Fri-Yay!

Social Studies 3/18/2020

I have gathered some resources for a short crash course over Social Studies and Economics. I feel that this will be a relatable lesson to our world today. Below is a link to Brain Pop Jr. about “Needs and Wants.” I use this in my classroom regularly so your child will be familiar with the program. Once your child is done watching the video feel free to do some of the activities that go along with the “Needs and Wants” video at the bottom of the page. It will have quizzes, games, word play, “craft”tivity, journal, or talk about it (which is my personal favorite).
