How Many Jumps?
Materials: masking or painter’s tape, measuring tape
Rabbits aren’t the only animals that are great jumpers—kangaroos, frogs, and grasshoppers are too!
Go to an open space (or move furniture out of the way) and make “animal jumping stations.” Have your child help you use masking tape to mark a starting point and the distance that each animal can jump. Measure 5 feet for a grasshopper, 6 feet for a frog, and 15 feet for a kangaroo.
At each jumping station, have your child count how many jumps it takes to go the distance.
Build math vocabulary as you talk about the activity. Your child will see that the longer the distance, the more jumps it takes.

Jelly Bean Science -
- Sort some jelly beans by color
- Place four jelly beans in small containers
- Help to measure liquids to pour into the container
- Chose: warm water, water with salt, milk, orange juice, and vinegar
- Check the jelly beans at 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours
- Did the liquid change color?
- Did vinegar have a faster effect?
- How did the one from vinegar feel?
- Compare the soaking jelly beans to non soaked jelly beans.
Key word: dissolve, fading
I wish you all a Blessed Easter and a Happy Passover. I know it is hard to celebrate without being with all of our families, but we will all get to be together soon.
Love, Mrs. Mallue
