 Hello Families,  This Wednesday we had an incredible day on our first field trip of the year to Bow Habitat Station. We spent the day learning about the life cycle of rainbow trout. We also learned about the special, unique adaptations that fish have that help them thrive in their habitat.  The steps in the life cycle of a Rainbow Trout are egg, alevin, fry and adult. - Atticus We got to feed the fry and had some food to feed them- Tanush We got to study about the fish. - Ishita  The best place to hatch a fish egg is where there are medium sized rocks. -Felicia We learned about the fish. - Adhvit Rainbow trout are amazingly fast fish in the water. - Mohammed  Dragonflies are born in the water and they stay in the water for 2-5 years. -Easton  Rainbow trout are the fastest non-saltwater fish. -Meredith  All stages of dragonflies eat one stage of a mosquito. -Milu   Rainbow trout make nests called redds. -Nollan 

 Hello everyone,  This week in math was all about representing numbers to 1000 in different ways. We looked at showing numbers using: -Numerals -Number words -Base ten blocks -Expanded form  We practiced writing numbers into number words by learning how to write checks. This activity got a lot of laughs as we wrote each other practice checks and even learned how to use cursive writing to practice our signature. Have a great weekend! Drew

 Hello families,  This week we went on our second community walk. Students have done an amazing job participating and learning while out in our community. This week, we used our walk to learn about the different ways that seeds travel and how this helps plant life. Each student was given a sock and as we walked we discovered different types of seeds that would stick to our sock. We then took our samples back to the classroom where we spent some time classifying, sorting and sketching the different seeds we found.  Have a great weekend,  Drew
