Common Nouns Jumble
Monday, February 18th, 2013The First Day Back to School After the Holidays
Thursday, January 3rd, 2013
The first day back to school after the holiday was cold and rainy. The “Can Dos” were having a hard time concentrating on school work.
Luckily, Miss Pat knew the “Can Dos”needed some help getting back in the school grove. So, she made two computer games to ease them back into their computer lessons.
She made two matching games about the toys the children got.
Why don’t you play along with the “Can Dos”? Go to the Club House on “Can Do” Street, click on it, then click on games. Look for the games called Show and Tell, click on them and play!
The Nearly New Toy Drive
Saturday, December 8th, 2012The “Can Do” Kids were helping their parents and grandparents decorate the party room at the community center for the Holiday party. Just then Miss Sue, the center director, came in and asked to talk to everyone. Parents, grandparents and “Can Dos” all sat down to listen to Miss Sue.
“Good morning everyone,” said Miss Sue.” While I’m happy parents and grandparents are here, what I have to say is mostly for the “Can Do” Kids.” The “Can Dos” looked at each other, worried that they did something wrong but not able to remember what it could be.
Miss Sue smiled. She knew what they were thinking. “You are not in trouble, children. I want to talk with you about what we can do for all the children who lost their toys and books during the hurricane that hit the next town from us. The “Can Dos” looked sad at just the thought of losing all one’s toys and books in a flood from a hurricane.
Orrie asked,”How can we help?” Annie said, “What can we do?” Hector added, “We’re only kids, how can we help them get toys?”
“Well,” answered Miss Sue, “The holidays are coming and you will all be getting gifts of new toys and books. What about going through all the toys and books you have now and giving toys you don’t play with anymore and books you have read to children who lost all the toys and books they had?”
Hector wasn’t so sure. He loved all his toys, even the ones he didn’t play with much. Kathy and Annie were having a hard time with the idea of parting with some of their old toys too.
Orrie was the first to offer a toy and some books. Then Willie and Nellie agreed to go through their toys and books and find some that would make good nearly new play things. Pretty soon all the “Can Dos” agreed to give away a toy and a book to children who lost all their toys and books. Even Hector, Annie and Kathy said they would chip in a toy and a book.
Miss Sue told the “Can Dos” she was very proud of them. “Let’s call our project the Nearly New Toy Drive.”
Miss Sue added, “Be sure that the toy and book you decide to give to the toy drive are in good condition. They need to be clean and have all their pieces if they are games, parts if they are toys, and pages if they are books. Don’t give away anything you wouldn’t want to get yourself.”
The “Can Dos” all nodded. The parents agreed to help them pack up what they were giving to the toy drive. The grandparents offered to help the “Can Dos”write notes to go with the toys and books they were giving away.
Boys and girls reading this, here is a question for you…Do you have a toy or book that is in good condition that you could give to a nearly new toy drive near where you live?
What Was it Like to be A Pilgrim Child?
Sunday, November 18th, 2012
Pilgrim children were busy.
They did not have as much time as we do today to read or play games. Even young Pilgrim children were needed to work their parents farms, hunt, fish and participate in the every day life of their community.
Religious activities, school and helping around the house with daily living activities also took a part of their time each week.
During what little free time they had, Pilgrim children were allowed to play games.
They probably played games with each other and their new friends, the Native America children on Thanksgiving Day. They may have played a game called naughts and crosses, that we know as tic, tac, toe, and a game they called draughts that we know as checkers.
Pi;grim children may also played other games such as ball games, shooting marbles and a game similar to hide and seek, called blind man’s bluff.
One thing is for sure…Pilgrim children had to make up games since there were few toys to play with back then and it would be hundred of years before, radio, TV and computers games were invented!
Halloween Computer Matching Games
Friday, October 19th, 2012The “Can Do” Kids, burst into the computer lab just as Miss Pat was putting the finishing touches on the Halloween games she promised them in home room that morning.
“Take your seats at your computer stations and beginning playing the Halloween matching games,” said Miss Pat.
The “Can Dos” scrambled to get to their seats and followed Miss Pat’s directions to find the Halloween games.
Why not play along? Just go to the “Can Do”: Club House, choose games and choose Halloween games.
Have fun with the Halloween Games!
