Make a fashion
statement by creating a portable time bead necklace! Kids can practice telling
time wherever they go! Plus, they can flip over their numeral beads to help
them tell minutes on an analog clock. The small beads help them figure out
exactly what the minute hand is on. They just count and slide!
materials: yarn,
plastic beads, construction paper, markers, and pipe cleaners
Numeral paper beads:
Cut 24 squares or rectangles out of construction paper. Write numerals on them
(1-12) and (00-55 - counting by fives). Staple the squares that match back to
back (12 and 00), so you can string it on your necklace.
Necklace: Alternate
stringing your paper number beads and your plastic beads. Once beads are
strung, tie a knot to make a necklace.
For the hands, use
pipe cleaners or anything else you can find! If you're at a restaurant, grab 2
straws! Kids lay their clock on a flat surface and create a time on their
clock. Then, they figure out what time they created! They can cheat and peek,
if they're not sure what the minute hand is on.
The Heard
Museum Field Trip
Dear
Parents,
Our
spring field trip is going to be to The Heard Museum on Thursday, May 2, 2013.
Here
are a few things you need to know:
1. Both the permission slip and $9.00 (CASH ONY) for the field trip
are due Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Also, the cafeteria will need to know if your
child plans to purchase a sack lunch from them, rather than bring one from
home, so please note this at the bottom.
2. If you would like to attend and supervise a small group of
students, then remember that you must be approved as a volunteer to
accompany us so be sure to complete the online application. It is located
at the Frisco ISD website under the heading of Students and Parents. (approval can
take up to 1-2 weeks) . Parents must
provide their own transportation to the museum.
Parents will pay for their admission cost of $9.00 at the museum the day
of the field trip.
3. On the day of the field trip, students must wear long pants,
tennis shoes and insect repellent applied before arrival to school. We also suggest applying sunscreen in the
morning.
We are
really looking forward to our first amazing field trip and expect it to be a
wonderful experience!
Sincerely,
First
Grade Teachers
