November 13 is National Kindness Day! How many acts of kindness can you perform this week? See these videos for a few ideas!
Writing:
- Each day, list something for which you are grateful. Take a picture of the thing or something that represents that thing.
- Write the next the poem (below) in your notebook in your best handwriting. (It's long but you have all Christmas break to finish memorizing.)
- Recite all 7 poems learned so far at least once each day ($$$).
- Work on memorizing the first 2 stanzas of this week's poem (Vanguard cash if you can recite it from memory!).
If You Were Busy Being Kind
by R. Foreman
If you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it you would find
You’d soon forget to think ’twas true
That someone was unkind to you.
If you were busy being glad
And cheering people who seem sad,
Although your heart might ache a bit,
You’d soon forget to notice it.
If you were busy being good,
And doing just the best you could,
You’d not have time to blame some man
Who’s doing just the best he can.
If you were busy being true
To what you know you ought to do,
You’d be so busy you’d forget
The blunders of the folks you’ve met.
If you were busy being right,
You’d find yourself too busy quite
To criticize your brother long,
Because he’s busy being wrong.
Eureka:
Read this webpage and write down 4-6 interesting things you learned about birds.
Learn the definitions of these words: endangered, extinct, endemic, migration, climate, habitat, predator.
Choose a bird from this document. Learn about it and come prepared to share what you've discovered, including its habitat; food source; predators, if any; current status (endangered, extinct, or, in one case, recovered); etc. What threatens your bird or caused its extinction? If it is not yet extinct, what is being done to save it? If it is recovered from the brink of extinction, what happened?
Draw your bird, if desired. (Feel free to trace it and fill in the details.)
What have you learned about birds? What questions do you have? Have you discovered a favorite bird? If so, which one and why?
