While looking at resources on-line, I found a fun, interactive website about habitats. On this website, students draw a habitat for an imaginary animal, trying to meet the needs that are listed. The link is here.
Thank you to those who have donated stamps and postcards! We have already received what will hopefully be the first of many postcards from other schools, and this one was from another city in Illinois! We will begin writing them and sending ours out at the beginning of the week.
There has been a slight change of plans with the Art Institute field trip next week. The docents and instructors requested that we come an hour earlier, so we will be leaving at 8:10 on Wednesday, October 6th. Please be sure your child is not late!
The students have several projects coming up in the next few weeks. On Monday, their habitat project is due. This should either be a diorama or a poster describing the habitat of a specific animal, with a paragraph attached explaining how the habitat meets the needs of the animal and a chart listing the living and non-living things in the environment. The following Tuesday (October 12th), their business plan is due. This integrates what we have been learning about economy in social studies with an imaginary business students are creating. The students will also have spelling tests the next two Fridays, since we do have full weeks of school.
