Notebook. Help your child write (or otherwise indicate) special
features of the leaves. Record where you found the leaves.
Diario: Ayude a su hijo o hija a encontrar en el exterior dos hojas
de árbol. Usen los sentidos del tacto, el olfato y la audición para
explorar similitudes y diferencías entre las hojas. Ayúdele a dibujar
las hojas, empleando su diario o Cuaderno Ambiental. Ayúdele
a escribir (si no, a indicar) rasgos especiales de las hojas. Anote
donde encontraron las hojas.
Binocular Safari: Practice using binoculars with your child (if
possible). Observe animals in your yard or in a park. Discuss what
they look like and what they are doing.
To use binoculars, first spot an animal or object with your eyes.
Without taking your eyes off the object, lift the binoculars to your
eyes and look through them. Were you able to keep your eyes on
the object?
De Safari con los Prismáticos: Practique el uso de los prismáticos
con su hijo o hija (si es posible). Observe a los animales en su jardín o
en un parque y describa como son y lo que hacen.
Para usar los prismáticos, identifique un animal u objeto con los ojos.
Sin retirar la vista del objeto, lleve los prismáticos ante los ojos y mire
a través de estos. ¿Puede seguir viendo el objeto?
