Horned Lizards, Jackrabbits, Blue Footed Boobyies and Scorpians Galore!

Good afternoon!  I will just blog briefly today about our week.   We had the opportunity to write and draw about animals we have been learning about in both science and reading.  After reading, What Do You Do With a Tail Like That? students drew a picture and wrote about an interesting animal.  Each of these animals have a special body part that helps them move or survive. These are a few exemplars I selected to share with the class.  Aren't theses just great!
These (above and below) are horned lizards who squirts blood out of their eyes.  GROSS! 



This is a scorpion with stingers.
This is a jackrabbit that uses its ears to stay cool.
This is a blue-footed booby that dances.

In math we have been learning about addition.  Students were human models in the communicative property.  They learned that in addition, the order of the addends does not matter, the answer will always be the same.  In other words, 2+3=5 and 3+2=5.



Upcoming Reminders:

  • Weekly Word Writing is due every Friday.  We had 14 students participate this week, let's shoot for 16 next week!  
  • The Reading Raider will be due on October 28.
  • Book Orders are due on October 12.
  • We will celebrate Aiden's Birthday on October 14.
Enjoy the warm weather this weekend,
