Traducción de las actividades

Estimadas familias:

En el día de hoy trabajaremos con las diversas partes de la planta. Los alumnos aprenderán el vocabulario relacionado con este tema a partir de un cuadro.

Deberán ver el video, leer la información dada y mencionar la parte de la planta correspondiente. Las partes que se mencionan son las siguientes: ROOT (raíz), STEM (tallo), TRUNK (tronco), LEAVES (hojas) y FLOWER (flor). 

Luego, deberán realizar el dibujo de las partes de una planta e incluirlo en su carpeta.
Por último, tendrán que escribir 3 oraciones sobre las partes de las plantas con las palabras proporcionadas.

Los alumnos también podrán elegir entre dos propuestas de actividades opcionales. En la primera, deberán grabarse respondiendo 4 preguntas sobre el tema; en la segunda, podrán enviarle a su maestra un foto en la que se aprecien las diferentes partes de las plantas estudiadas.

Esta tarde estaremos trabajando con las páginas 72 y 73 del libro Exploring Science.

Para finalizar, les recordamos que hemos incluido la presentación que utilizamos durante la clase de ayer al comienzo de esta entrada.

Saludos cordiales.
