Snack Reminder

Just a reminder about snack and proper snack. I spoke with the class today about what snacks are and are not allowed. We are really aiming for healthy snacks (fruit, yogurt, etc...), but I am pretty lenient about what they bring in for snack. Please do not send in cookies, chocolate chips, candy, or anything loaded with sugar. Most of the students are pretty good about all of this, but some seem to have forgotten the rules. Thanks!

Adaptations


Recently, the class finished studying all about structural and behavioral adaptations of many types of organisms. After we finished all the hard work studying and researching animals, creating powerpoints, and various other activities I allowed the students to have a little fun and give a paper butterfly and adaptation. They were to camouflage a butterfly and place it somewhere in the room. Here is one example. Next time you are in see if you can find them.
