Great job, Corey! I love your pictures.  Now can you add the 4 black cats and 2 white cats to give you a total?

TODAY IS NATIONAL SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY

On National Say Something Nice Day we have an opportunity to make June 1st extra pleasant for everyone.

The purpose of this holiday is to counteract bullying and the lack of civility and common courtesy that is growing among people in today’s world. Hopefully, the practice of saying something nice today will continue into all tomorrows.

Think about the nicest person you know. Say something nice to or about someone. Bring a smile to someone’s face for the sheer joy of seeing them smile. Seek no reward other than knowing that someone’s day is better because a nice word was said.

Please read your groups passage and then answer the questions.

Remember if you can, post your answers on the blog.

National Sunscreen Day (also known as “Don’t Fry Day”) happens on May 27 in 2020. It’s a perfect time to get in the habit. The day reminds us that the sun’s harmful UV rays pose threats to our skin — and our health.

Why not try the following Science  Experiment to learn how sun cream protects your skin.

What you need:

• construction paper
• sunscreen

What you do:

• spray the balm of your hand
• press it onto the paper before it dries
• set the paper out in the sun

Before:

How long you leave it out is up to you. Try to keep it for the length of time that you spend outside. We left ours out for two hours, the recommended time to go before reapplying.

After:

You can see the difference, the purple of the paper without sunscreen is much more faded. When you look at the very first picture in this post, you can see where the rocks with holding our paper down in the wind to get to a better idea of how much it faded.

What does sun damage look like?

When your skin gets damaged by the sun’s rays, it makes even more melanin to try to protect your skin from being damaged even more. That causes the skin to change color:

• Dark-skinned people usually turn darker brown, or tan, when they go in the sun.
• Light-skinned people usually turn more red, or burn, when they go in the sun.

Make sure that you talk about the importance of sunscreen and protecting yourself from the suns harmful rays.

We are going to continue learning about NOUNS today.

A NOUN is a NAMING word- it is the name of a PERSON, PLACE or THING.

Please watch the video below.

Now, I would like you to roll a dice and complete another Noun activity found in the chart below.

I would love to see your work.
