We will be discussing ways to use and conserve resources and materials.<br /><br />Go visit the jumping monkey at <a href="http://www.lawrencekidsrecycle.org/menu.html">Lawrence Recycling</a> to read an animated book on cleaning up your environment. Then jump over and play a game of match, match up the chemicals that are found in your home that might harm your environment.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/ce/eek/earth/recycle/recyclingbeyond.htm">Recycling and Beyond </a>offers you a variety of activities. You can learn how to become a "Vermiculturist". Play it's not all garbage by answering the quiz questions. You can also learn how you, my first grade scientist can reduce waste. I hope you find this site to be entertaining and knowledgeable. Have fun playing.<br /><br /><a href="http://resources.kaboose.com/games/michael-recycle.html?source=gameslnv&kw=michaelmichaelLN">Michael, Michael Go Recycle</a>. Help Michael pick up all the trash out of the park. Help him put the correct trash in the right bins. This is a fun game that teaches us to pick up the trash around our homes and schools. Lets keep everything looking clean.<br /><br />I hope you find these websites useful and entertaining. Have a great day.

The butterfly goes through 4 life cycle changes. The egg, larva (caterpillar), chrysalis (pupa) and the adult. The frog goes through three stages. Egg, tadpole (polliwog) and adult. I have found three amazing site that will teach you about butterflies and frogs. <img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Now, you will want to go<a href="http://www.ansp.org/museum/butterflies/new_interactive/butterflies.html"> explore with Rosa</a>, you can test your butterfly smarts, build a butterfly habitat, do a little field observation or you can learn about climate changes and how they effect butterflies. Have fun.<br /><br />Lets sort the stages of our <a href="http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/butterfly/index.html">butterfly</a>. Here is a learning game. Keep trying until you get it right.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://openphoto.androo.net/thumbs/volumes/exedesign/20080215/openphotonet_488435693_ab8185ca25_o.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://openphoto.androo.net/thumbs/volumes/exedesign/20080215/openphotonet_488435693_ab8185ca25_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />You have explored the butterfly, now lets go learn about frogs. <a href="http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/science_up_close/212/deploy/interface.html"> Science close up</a> will let you explore the stages that frogs go through. This site gives a lot of information. Hope you like it.<br /><br />Exploring butterflies and frogs is a fun experience. I will have a surprise for you in class. Be ready to be my 1st grade scientist on Monday. We will be making our own observations. Have a good weekend.

Your child will be able to identify the 5 senses after we have mastered our science lessons. Here are some internet sites that will help you and your child explore the 5 senses.<br /><br />At<a href="http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/senses/index.htm"> SENSE-ATIONAL</a>, your child will help Sue identify each object by dragging it over to the appropriate sensory organ. Have fun, and keep trying. Once you have correctly placed each object, you can learn about the parts that make up each sense.<br /><br />At Neuroscience for kids you will learn how animals have developed amazing adaptations to their enviroment using their senses. <a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/amaze.html">Amazing Animal Senses</a> is a fun and exciting way to learn about senses. Did you know that a butterfly has taste receptors on its feet? Go explore, I want to know more. We will discuss what you find out in share time.<br /><br />Hey parents, this site is for you. I found a wonderful site that offers fun activites for the family.<br /><a href="http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/nibbles/succeed-senses.html">Nibbles </a>offer a way to bond with your child at home, while teaching them their 5 senses with fun hands on activities.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy these sites. Have fun exploring your senses.
