Students should compare their work with my answers at home. We will not be spending class time on this. 

This morning, we finished the biome presentations and then used the remaining class time to work on the Exam 5 review. We will use Monday's class time to complete it. This is NOT homework. Exam 5 will be on Tuesday, February 19th. 

This morning, we read pages 142-143 about deserts, taiga, and tundra. We watched videos about all three of these biomes and then took notes on them. 

We will begin this project in class on Wednesday. Students should have their materials in class on that day. If you have any questions, please let me know.

This morning, I collected the homework from last night. We watched a video on the rainforest and the savanna. Then, we read pages 140-141 about these biomes. 

 

We also discussed the biome (in class) project that we will begin next week. If possible, each child should have the materials (paint, cotton balls, glue, figurines, construction paper, pipe cleaners) that they need for their biome diorama in class on Wednesday. Each child will need a shoe box or small box to create their diorama in. They should have a general knowledge of the climate in the diorama (which can be found in the book) and which animals can be found there (might need additional research). A project description page will be uploaded at a later date.
