Happy Friday!

Thank you for coming last night, it was really nice meeting and seeing you all. Some parents were asking what else they could do to support their child with the math curriculum at home.

We did a lot of learning in Science today... We are figuring out the classification of species and where they belong in the Five Kingdoms classification chart. We started by classifying the species that we found in our Ada Johnson park (land) and then added the species that we found on our journey over to the pond.

 After that, we broke the animal kingdom down into 2 classifications:

On Wednesday, we will continue to write 5-6 characteristics of each species in the Vertebrate and Invertebrate families. This will be collected at the END of class. If students do not feel that they will have time to complete the chart to the best of their abilities, then they should be working on it at home.
