 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today! In the morning, the students started doing research on a dinosaur of their choosing. We used kid-friendly books on Epic! to take notes, and organize information by sub-topics. Thanks to our lessons last week, students had a much better idea of what these sub-topics should be. Things like Diet, Habitat, Appearance, and Adaptions were all good ones.

Thanks to Ms. Bouchard and Ms. Cooper's classes for hosting a fantastic assembly about the FinS (Fish in Schools) Program, and how it helps the environment by combatting over-fishing of Rainbow Trout.

We did Daily LA in the afternoon, and then reviewed the Telling Time concepts we've learned. The students seem to have a much better handle on it. We even talked about common 'clock slang' terms (or 'fraction time'), such as "half past ____", "quarter to ___", etc.

Blog Homework: Draw a Clock to Show Each Time (+1 table point)

a) 8:40pm

b) 2:25pm

c) Half Past 6

d) Quarter to 10

Remember that tomorrow is the Be Brave Field Trip! I sent a message out with some details you may want to know.

Have a nice night,

Zac
