Rabbit Games!

Hi, class! 

There is no writing assignment for the week... but here are some fun rabbit themed games you can play!

Fly Away Rabbit (follow the instructions... it's tricky, but FUN!)
Simple Math Games
Rabbit Decimal Game


For next week:

• Bring a lunch that does not require a microwave, and that can be eaten outdoors.  
• Dress in good shoes for walking.
• If you would like to bring a snack/dessert to share, that would be fine.  (No Stress!!!)
• Everyone needs a water bottle or drink!

I will be giving each student a cd of pictures from the year.  However, I want to add pictures from next week's class!  If it's alright, I would love to compile them and somehow get them to each of you after the completion of next week's class.  I just know I'll have more cute pictures to add next Tuesday!

Same pick-up and drop-off times as always!

See you soon!

Think about the story that we read in class, "The Forgotten Bunny".  In your writing assignment, give advice to someone who is thinking of buying a rabbit as a pet.  Help them understand that it is an important decision, and help them to learn some of the things you know from Farm Fusion class!

Some people think bunnies just sit in a cage all day.  Well, here is a video that shows how much activity a bunny can have in a large enough enclosure... and with some toys to play with!





Now, enjoy some videos of our doe, Honey, as she shows off her moves!  (Yes, I am in my pajamas.)

Things to do by 3/19!

 Writing Assignment-

Here are pictures of the newborn rabbits!

Things to do by 3/12!

Here is a video of a chicken egg at Day 8 of development.  We will candle our eggs next week, on day 14!






 Writing Assignment- 

• In our first class today, more than half of the students did not have their writing assignment.  No, we don't grade.  But, sharing this particular assignment is a part of our class time.  Not having it puts a halt to the flow of the day, and the enthusiasm/support that I am trying to create in the class!
• In class, we read the book "Interrupting Chicken".  Think of times when you have interrupted others.  Write about it!  You can write a story, or just write about why it is important to learn not to interrupt. 

Here is an option worksheet on egg structure and one on day 10 embryo development for the older kids. 

Parents, use them if you'd like!

Chicken Workshop Day 1

Review the story that we read in class, "The Little Red Hen".

Complete the worksheet about the story (It was given out in class).-  optional

In class, we talked about friendship, helping, forgiveness, and other ideas from the story.  Think of a way that you could change the story of The Little Red Hen.  Write your own version.  Don't forget to put it in your notebook for class next week!
