Well here we are at the end of another week of school. The kids continue to do a nice job in class. They are engaged and eager to participate. We continued with classification and are now starting to talk about the different kingdoms all living things are members. Most students know about plants and animals but are unaware of the other kingdoms. We will talk about each but spend most of our time on plants and animals. Outdoor school is Nov. 2-7. Please get forms in ASAP to your child's block teacher if going with Jenny/Walenza.
I waant to thank parents for their generous contributions to the class. We now have an electric pencil sharpener and several new green plants including 2 carnivorous plants in the form of a Venus Flytrap and a Pitcher Plant. Both of these provide for ties to the curriculum. Kids think these plants "eat". Leads to good discussions.
We have a quiz on Tuesday covering classification and creation of a division key among other ideas.
Have a great weekend.
