Animal Reports
Wow, did your children work hard over the past 2 months researching and writing reports about animals. Many students also created projects that enhanced their expertise about their animal, then showed those projects to others. Take a look! Reed also wrote and recorded his own song and Lila created a digital slideshow.

Parade and Wetlands projects
We were so busy on Friday!
We finished our week of wetlands study by showing each other our projects and the most important thing we learned about the wetlands. We also had a great time in the Duniway parade - some great storybook characters - Harry Potter inspired, Jungle Book, Madeline, even Plants vs Zombies! We had our bubble wands and great smiles on too!

The grasslands of the world
Hi everyone!
This week we explored the savannah and prairie biomes. Here is what they think you should know about this biome:
"The grasslands get a medium amount of rainfall - between 20-50 inches a year" Eva
"Did you know that there are prairies and savannah grasslands - and they have very different animals" Jack
"There are different types of grasslands in the world" Henry
"The grasslands of Africa are called the savannah - this is where elephants live." Tatum
"The fastest, tallest, and largest land animals live on the savannah." Annabelle
"The most important thing you need to know about the grasslands is that in the US in the 1920's, farmers tore up the prairie to make farms, and this took a long time to fix."Lila
"Once the US grasslands turned to dust because farmers pulled out the grass and the ground blew away." Brooklynn
"On the grasslands, the grass holds the soil together." Alex
"The grasslands are miles of plain grass." Hazel
Here are some pictures of our projects we created to teach others about the grasslands!

All about the Desert!
This was a fun week learning more about the desert - the best part was visiting Leo the lizard (bearded dragon). We were able to see in action that cold-blooded animals definitely slow down when it is cold, and how much they needed the warmth of the sun. A HUGE thank you to Anna and her family for letting us have him for a visit - such a wonderful gift! Check out some pictures of our projects and Leo!
Here are some ideas the environmentalists think YOU should know about the desert:
"The desert is mostly covered in rocks and sand."Peter
"It is very hot during the day and very cold at night." Sofie
"The saguaro cactus can live up to 200 year and birds can live in it." Rory
"The desert is cool at night." Tatum
"The desert is very hot and every animal has an adaptation to the heat." Lila
"The night in the desert can be as low as 50 degrees but in the day in can be over 100." Henry
"The desert is very hot and dry." Monty
"There are two types of desert - sandy and rocky." Gregory
"Plants can survive in the desert because they store their own water." Alex
"Every animal in the desert has some adaptations. " Obi
"Alot of animals come out at night because it is cooler at night than in the day." Reed
"The desert is very hot and dry - all animals who live there have adaptations." Eva
"Not all deserts are hot." George
