November Rain, December Starts, and Perfect Polygons

 It is the last day of November and it continues to rain since we awoke. We have a special way to celebrate whenever the rain joins us and that is to play this adorable song found at:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ADebzaIKpaE

The lyrics are below for you to join us.

Plic Plac Plouc (boy sings)

Plic Plac Plouc (girl sings)

Font les gouttes (boy sings)

Font les gouttes (girl sings)

(sing together the rest of song) Il pleut il pleut

sur mes cheveux

Il pleut il pleut

je suis heureux

il pleut il pleut

plus qu'un petit peu

Et Plic Plac Plouc

Il pleut il pleut

sur mes cheveux

Il pleut il pleut

je suis heureux

Il pleut il pleut

plus qu'un petit peu

Et Plic Plac Plouc

We found a neat activity suggested by: https://franzishelton.wixsite.com/duftdesregens/post/blackout-poetry

We were able to repurpose a nice flyer for children cooking skills and Barron created a poem that reads: Experience a three hour class once Summer, Winter, & students learn delicious, and all-while experimenting with science concepts, and polishing up by sharing meals made with more.

Mine reads: Warm summer days, crisp fresh air leaves change from the harvest season Mother Nature delicious vegetables bounty of fresh, inspires new time of delight and exploration local, weather colder, inside is warmth and joy that lasts a lifetime. 

We also learnt about Shapes - Polygons. The best free resource is: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Classifying-Types-of-Polygons-with-Attributes-Song-Freebie-W-Non-Polygons-3498127 which taught us: 

Triangles have 3 sides like a sail

Quadrilaterals have 4 sides like a door

Pentagon has 5 sides like a school sign

Hexagon has 6 sides like a Bolt

Heptagon has 7 sides like a star sign

Octagon has 8 sides like a stop sign

Nonagon has 9 sides like the letter Y in a sign

Decagon has 10 signs like a star fish in the ocean

Always remember a Polygon has to have straight sides and has to be a closed shape (vertices and sides cannot break)
