January 14th - 17th
Well we survived the week in the freezer.
This week in Science we began exploring the different Animal classes. We started by researching about fish and then amphibians. The first thing we did was learn about some important vocabulary that we needed to know like vertebrate, cold-blooded, habitat, carnivore, herbivore, adaptations and lifecycle. Then we read articles and watched videos to collect information. We learned about why we need to record our resources and why it is important to use more than one resource. Finally we learned about how we can use clear questioning to find information in a search engine like google. 
In Math, we were looking at strategies to get faster at our subtraction facts. and making to 10 were two strategies that we could use to get quicker at subtraction. Our goal is to be able to solve subtraction problems up to 18 in less than 3 seconds. We practiced all week for 2 minutes a day and had a quiz to see how many questions we could do in 5 minutes. Next Friday we will try this again and see if we can do more than we did this week.
To go with our new Science unit about Animals we learned how to draw a tree frog for our Friday Art. As a class we discussed some of the things that we learned about amphibians and we added some of the facts that we learned about these amazing animals. Take a look at some of our examples. We are becoming much better artists.
