This week we will continue our exploration about natural resources and human practices with a more focus on waste management and the situation in Lebanon.
Please continue to send garbage items that we will use to recycle. You are also welcome to send any resources that are related to 'waste management'.

Home Explorations for January 23rd- 28th
During this week continue exploring practices that waste or sustain natural resources.
Record your inquiry of exploring household items on the framework sheet provided.
Example: What is the source of your soap. Is using this kind/brand of soap helps preserving or harming your skin AND the environment? What other practices can make it better?
Take photos of household items you are investigating about. Bring to class to share during the week. Remember that sharing your photos digitally (on a CD) is better than printing them!
Think about the short documentary we watched about human practices in Lebanon and how they affect sea turtles. Write your observations, reflections and feelings in your Home Journal.
Later, think of a Color, Symbol, and image that go with your reflections on the short film you watched.
Visit the Math websites to add and subtract numbers. Explore some math problems and how to solve them.
Remember your book in a bag is your long lasting FRIEND!
Enjoy your weekend! :)

Home Learning Explorations January 18-22
During the week, we will continue our research and explorations into natural resources and how humans use them in different ways.
Do you know that there are many household items that we use which are not environment friendly?
Try to explore and make a list of these items. Be ready to share during the week.
At school, we will be researching about practices that could help sustain the natural resources.
You are welcome to send any useful resources that are useful to our inquiry.
Enjoy your weekend and do not forget to read "everyday"!
