Un Dia de Tormenta Tropical


Tropical Storm-Rainforest Kind of Day



Bilingual
My favorite student of all times, still hibernating. Are classes suspended because it's raining? No. That doesn't happen when you are home schooling.

Mi estudiante favorito de todos los tiempos, aun esta invernando. ¿No hay clases porque esta lloviendo? No. Eso no pasa en el home schooling (educacion en casa).

Every single day is a good opportunity for learning. When it rains we don't have to go thru the hazards of traffic and all the troubles that a rainy day could possibly brings. Nevertheless, a gray, fresh*, rainy day could be a fun and relax day to learn.
*(We prefer to call it a fresh day, instead of cold because we know what the winter cold means and it can't be compared to the "cold" of Ponce, Puerto Rico)

Todos los dias son de aprovechamiento, ya que no tenemos que pasar por el trabajo de lidear con un dia de lluvia, el trafico, la precaucion, etc. Sin embargo, esta' como para hacer de este dia de lluvia, gris, fresco, uno de aprendizaje divertido y super relajado. 

Change of plans.
Today's classes will be as follow:
Physical Education- sweep the water, running without falling (Xtreme sports), get wet.

Spanish 101- Vocabulary related to a rainy day.

Health- Change clothing, be dry and eat healthy.

Science- How much more our plants will grow in our back yard. Will all this rain affect the plants, the crop? Hypothesis

Bible-Review Genesis' big flood. How to be safe when there are flood warnings in your area. Why it's important to follow instructions?

Reading- Gulliver's Travel with a nice hot chocolate.

Cambio de planes.
Clases para hoy: 

Educacion fisica-barrer agua, correr sin resbalar (deporte extremo), mojarnos todo. 

Español 101-Vocabulario relacionado con el dia lluvioso. 

Salud-Cambiarnos de ropa y mantenernos secos. Comer saludable. 

Ciencia- ¿Cuanto ha crecido nuestra cosecha del patio, se afectara con tanta lluvia, cuanto mas crecera?  Hypothesis

Biblia: Repasar el diluvio (Genesis)-medidas de seguridad en amenazas de inundaciones. Porque es importante seguir instrucciones. 

Lectura-Gulliver's Travel-con chocolate caliente. 

Then, we will continue enjoying this wonderful day.
Y luego, a seguir disfrutando de este maravilloso dia. 

We love home schooling.
Amamos la educacion en casa.
