CAREER OF THE DAY:

Landscaper

Ever wondered who you would call to put a pool in your backyard or who put together the playground at the park up the street from your house? This type of work is done by who we call a landscaper! A landscaper is someone who is trained to adjust water or soil to become pleasing to look at. Landscapers work on projects such as renovating a large garden, building a fountain outside of a building or even designing a new golf course! Check out this video of a landscaper describing what his job requires of him.

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:

Today’s Daily Challenge will be a continuation of yesterday’s challenge. Your handprint leaves should be dry by now. So, for today you will take your paper and laminate it, if you don’t have a laminator at home you can use a clear notebook divider and tape the ends closed. Now you have a fall themed place mat for your seat at the table during meals.

PARENT RESOURCES:

“Sevierville has always been a popular field trip destination. But this year, many of our popular attractions stepped up to also offer great educational experiences to students online. Whether through simple YouTube videos, Facebook lives, or educational components on their websites, these Sevierville area attractions keep learning fun.”

“During the Spring and Summer, a tree uses its leaves to transform sunlight into energy to help it grow. This process of photosynthesis is helped along by molecules of chlorophyll, which makes leaves green. But as temperatures dip in the fall, chlorophyll breaks down and other pigments, which have been hiding behind the green, are revealed—bright reds, oranges, and yellows. With rubbing alcohol and a coffee filter, you can coax these vibrant molecules out of the leaf and onto paper for your viewing pleasure; the process is called chromatography. Ready to try it?”
