Solar system models

Our class is making a model of the solar system. The construction of the project will be done at school so we would like your child to have the materials in by Mon.

Tyrese got a real stick bug from the Nursery School teacher today as a going away present! Wow isn't that cool! Good luck in your new school Tyrese!

Diversity of Living Things Wrap Up

We finished watching the movie "A Bug's Life" and identified all the Arthropods that made an appearance. Then we sorted them into the different categories of Arthropods.

We finished presenting all of the Arthropods that we created.

Tomorrow we are going to do a check up to see what we have learned in this unit. Students will be identifying vertebrates and invertebrates, the 5 kingdoms, explaining adaptations, and why we use a classification system.
