Tuesday's DAILY VIDEO MESSAGE LINK

ADOPT A BUD PROJECT
In yesterday's blog post, you may have seen an ECO learning opportunity called, "Adopt a Bud."  Basically, it's an experience where you put a little tag on a branch of a tree near your house that has a bud and is within arm's reach. The little tag will allow you to return the very same branch and bud each time you go to observe it. Over time (each day or two or three), notice how the bud changes (shape, color, size...). Keep a journal of your observations or take a photo each time you visit your "bud." Share your findings with me and I'll share them with the class. This is a great time of year to notice changes in our surroundings/nature.

A NEW READ ALOUD!!
Killington Elementary School - DCF Book AwardWhen we were done with The Magic Misfits, I had ANOTHER read aloud book planned for you. The book is an AWARD WINNING book in Vermont (DCF Award) from a couple years ago. Guess what? I found the book online that you can listen to. You don't have to, but if you choose to listen to it, maybe we can have a video meeting sometime to talk about it. In fact, let's give it 2-3 weeks of listening before we talk about it. The book is about 3 hours long to listen to, so 3 weeks should be good (some may finish sooner). The book is really funny and I think you'll enjoy it. If you click the link below, you'll arrive at the page that allows you to start listening. ENJOY!

    1. You got it, Morgan! Did it take you a little time to think about the "puzzling' aspect of this question?
