Hang In There!

Us Central-Illinoisans are clinging on to the old saying '' April showers brings May flowers.'' The rain never seems to stop around here. If it holds off for the morning it starts raining again around lunch time.  We are thankful though, because that means our plants will thrive this year. We've been getting plenty of sun, but what the garden really needs is rain! 

Though rain might seem depressing to others for us it means: sleeping in later. There's no sun to shine in your window and wake you up. More board games and family movie nights. Of course there's the classic jumping in puddles and going on walk with your family in the rain.

I'm not only sharing what we do on a rainy day, but what you can do. Don't let the rain wake you up on wrong side of the bed. Instead simply accept that it's raining. Rain can be good for all of us. Your family isn't in separate place but your family is doing things together. While it thunders outside and normally the weather forecast announces a chance of hail, you can have family game night. Clue, Blokus, and Uno are some classics. Have fun and enjoy your rainy day!

INTERESTING STUDY: WORMS

Where you have the camels, who do best in a hot climate, and the penguins who do best in a cold climate, the fish that thrive in a extremely wet climate, and the furry felines that prefer the warm sunshine, the worms fall into not one of those categorys. The worms like to burrow into the ground, much like a rabbit, except they like to stay under. There they find all the nutrients they need. They need the soil to damp, because 1. imagine how hard it would be to move around in dry, crumbly soil. 2. their body needs to be able to get water from soil, just like we need to get water from our sink. Of course, a worm can't have too much water, otherwise it will die. Though humans need water, we would drown if someone dunked up under water and didn't let us come up for air. It's the same with worms. Worms might seem easy to care for, but they need both stable, dry, ground and soft wet soil. There is more than 6,000 different types of worms, so you can't expect to have the sam...

NOVEMBER POEM

A few days ago we did a November poem. We copied down the poem '' November'' by Margaret Morgan. In the background we drew a tree with red and orange and yellow leaves. We drew a pile of leaves too. Oil pastels was cool because you can blend them, making things look soft and sometimes making a different color all together. You can use colored pencils, water color, or chalk pastels. You could also draw a squirrel gathering nuts, a pumpkin patch, maybe you and your friends playing in leaves. Whatever will remind you of fall. Write in your best handwriting and put your heart into it. You'll end up with a master piece.
