Good Morning! Today is Tuesday, April 14th, 2020. It is the 136th day of school. Did you pick your topic yesterday for your Animal Report? If you are making your report on a Google Doc, don’t forget to share it with your teacher. Have a great day.

Morning Message
Dear Animal Experts,
Camouflage can be thought of as a color or shape in an animal’s body covering that helps it blend into its environment. Most animals have developed camouflage that helps them find food and avoid predators. Predators can also use camouflage to hide when stalking prey.
Try your hand at camouflage! Take a piece of paper and cut out your favorite insect or small animal. Color your animal to camouflage somewhere in your home. See how long it takes for your family to spot your camouflaged animal. If you are interested in learning even more, watch this fun video all about camouflage!
Happy Hiding!
Literacy
Description of Work:
We have a new website to explore! Look up and read about a few more animals before picking the one you want to write about.
Spend 15-20 minutes on PebbleGo and Power Knowledge Life Science researching different animals. By the end of your reading today, choose one to focus on during writing time this week.
You need to use Class Link, Pebble Go and Power Knowledge Life Science
When you’re done reading today be sure to pick one animal to focus on for your writing. Write a sentence or two about why you choose this animal. Try and find information like this to include in your report:
Does your animal have predators
How do they hide or protect themselves
Does it hibernate or migrate
Fun facts
I bet you have other ideas too!
If you started a Google Doc Report be sure to click on your page from yesterday NOT a new page.
