An Inside Look
An Inside Look...
This week I wanted to give you an inside look at some of the things we did this week... I feel like a lot of my Smores are reminders I have to send out so this time I wanted to just give you a closer look at what we've been up to :)
Oh Deer!
We had a great time outside this week learning about balance in the ecosystem :)
Survive!
Our deer quickly looking for their habitat!
Water? :\
Sometimes things happen and our poor deer may not have enough resources to live :(
Reflecting on our Reading
We tried to piece it all together this week with book creator. Reflecting in words, with moments from the text, and video to explain our thinking. I was super impressed with how well they turned out!
Food Maps of Owls
In preparation of our owl pellet dissections, we did a mini inquiry activity on food maps for different types of owls!
Getting Creative with our Writing
We started our Fantasy / Historical Fiction unit in writing. Ask your child how their story is developing and what themes they plan on including!
Owl Pellet Dissecting
This was one of the coolest things I have ever done! We got to dissect owl pellets after studying ecosystems and food chains / webs.
Hard at Work!
The focus and patience in dissecting was awesome. I was so proud of the teamwork and curiosity they went into this activity with!
Skulls Galore!
The kids were finding AMAZING bones and animal parts! You should have seen these little scientists!
