Week Two Challenge (June 29th--July 5th): Let's Make Solar Ovens!

6/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Did you know that reading recipes and cooking builds your literacy and math skills? This week put your brain to the test and complete all the challenges below to build your own solar oven and make delicious food that you can cook on your sidewalk! We can’t wait to hear about all of your recipes and see what you make!

Email us at [email protected] with any questions or call us at 733-9242. 

  1. Monday: Complete 20 minutes in IXL in reading or math. Did you know we picked out some special skills for you to practice so you can impress your teachers next year? Check out the upper right corner for a link to skills your TLC teacher picked just for you!
  2. Tuesday: Check out the out-of-this-world Solar Oven video below and leave a comment about what you are most excited to cook. Don’t forget to log the minutes you listened to the read aloud at tclib.org in your summer reading profile. They are giving away cool prizes!
  3. Wednesday: Read a recipe with your mom and dad, aunt or siblings! Then try to cook it! How did it come out? Snap a picture and share it with TLC on instagram or in the comments below. 
  4. Thursday:  Pick up a Grab and Go Art Kit from the library. They are first come first serve, so make sure to swing by early to get one!
  5. Friday: Make your Solar Oven from the video you watched on Tuesday and cook with it. I reheated Pizza on mine and it was cheesy and delicious. Don’t be shy, snap a picture and send it to TLC on instagram, facebook, in the comments or to [email protected]. We want to see your skills!
  6. Saturday: Get ready to be brave…. Ask a neighbor, or a family member if you are quarantining, for their favorite recipe!  Collecting good recipes now that you know how to cook and are tasty will help you as you grow up! When I went off to college I didn’t know how to cook anything but mac and cheese. By having your own collection of recipes, you won’t be stuck eating the same boring meal every night of the week like me! 
  7. Sunday: Complete 20 minutes in IXL in reading or math! Did you know that we check your progress on the IXL website! We see you working hard. Keep it up!

We can’t wait to hear about what challenges you complete this week! Don’t forget to leave a comment below! Oh, and send us some recipes! We’ll try them at our house too!

Week One Challenge (June 22nd--June 28th): Let's Make Treasure Maps!

6/22/2020

1 Comment

 
Welcome to Week 1 of TLC’s Weekly Challenge.  In Jackson, maps are all around us.  We see them on the bike path, on trails, and in the national parks.  Maps are visual tools that help us find where we want to go. This week we are going to design our own maps leading to a treasure.  Complete the daily challenges below to create your treasure map.  What will be the treasure you hide? 

Email us at [email protected] with any questions or call us at 733-9242. ​

  1. Monday: Complete 20 minutes in IXL in reading or math. This will help your mind stay sharp this summer so you return to school ready to go!
  2. Tuesday: Check out the awesome Treasure hunt video below and leave a comment about what you are most excited for. There is a read aloud included in the video! You can count that towards your summer reading minutes with Teton County Library! 
  3. Wednesday: Find a map of Jackson online or go to the visitor center at 532 N Cache st. Can you find your house? TLC? Can you find your favorite park or place to eat? 
  4. Thursday:  Pick up a Grab and Go Art Kit from the library. Take a picture of your finished product at tag @tetonliteracy on instagram or post a picture of it to the comments below.
  5. Friday: Make your treasure hunt from the video you watched on Tuesday and share it with a friend! I hid candy all around my house and my treasure map said my family had to share whatever they found with me! It was delicious.
  6. Saturday: Use the map you found on Wednesday and take your family on a new adventure. Where will you go? Did you discover something new? Snap a picture and tag @tetonliteracy on instagram when you finish the adventure! Then other families can be inspired and try out your adventure!
  7. Sunday: Complete 20 minutes in IXL in reading or math! You are already gaining new skills that will help you next year at school!
