Our Critters invaded or cottage today, luckily the predator only caught a couple of them. Congratulations boys and girls you really do understand the word camouflage. What a week! Thank you to all the parents who helped make sure their child had his/her critter at school by today.
In Science we have been discussing the adaptations (camouflage, body parts) animals have to help them survive in their environment. Today we did an awesome Animal Adaptations lab. We had 10 stations set up in our cottage and the students learned some incredible things about birds and alligators. A HUGE THANK YOU to Miss Russell. We couldn't have done it without you!
In Math we had a busy week describing , ordering, building and covering rectangles. We learned that these shapes are called Quadrilaterals (4-sided figures) We also discussed rows and columns. The students had to create several different sizes of rectangles. Each rectangle had a different number of rows and columns. Ask your child about rows and columns.
We also discussed the shapes hexagon, triangle, square, rhombus, and trapezoids. Last week we played the game Predict and Cover using these shapes. In the activity Predict and Cover students use the relationships they've discovered among the pattern blocks to make predictions about how many blocks it takes to cover shapes. So much fun while learning. We also used geoblocks and cubes to aide with our activities. Another great week! Wow! today was the 119th day of school.
