Plants and Animals Helping Each Other!

Dear Parents and Students,

Today in class we looked at the different ways in which plants and animals depend on each other. Here are some of our findings *Taken from the Science Curriculum*

•        Plants provide food for energy
•       Animals help disperse pollen and seeds, and provide manure that fertilizes the soil in which plans grow
•       Plants need the carbon dioxide that animals breathe out, and animals need the oxygen that plants release into the air

Tomorrow you will be put into small groups and will be given several pictures to look at, as we continue to investigate how plants and animals help each other.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

3-D FIGURES!

Dear Parents and Students,

Today in class students were given paper nets to construct various prisms and pyramids. In the second part of class students worked in groups of three to compare and sort each of their figures. Students sorted each figure based on number and shape of faces, number of edges, and number of vertices, and then recorded their findings on chart paper. Tomorrow in class we will continue working on this activity.

As mentioned in class, this Friday we will have a short quiz on what we have learned so far. For those of you that want extra practice, I have included a list of useful links that will assist you in your reviewing. As always, ask for permission first before clicking on any link!
