September 10th - 14th

Pam Holtz, from the Washington Co. Conservation Office, visited the classroom to do an activity with environments.  The kids worked in groups, read about an environment, then created an animal which could live in that environment.  The kids came up with some very unusual animals.

Social Studies - We continue to learn about map skills.  We learned that coloring a physical map requires some mathematical thinking.

Reading - Working on an activity to identify the difference between fiction and nonfiction books.

 Science - Thursday we introduced Isopods into our critter environment.  There were two types of Isopods, sow bugs and pill bugs.  Many of the kids knew them as Rolly Pollies".  We are working on an experiment to see if they like wet ground, or dry ground.
