Happy Friday everyone! In addition to the two MAP tests we took this week, the focus was on science and writing.
This week the children wrote paragraphs with a focus on the trait of "ideas." They were to write paragraphs that had "fascinating details that burst off of the page." Everyone worked very hard on them and I should have some samples posted for you to read early next week.
In science, the children learned about animal adaptations with a concentration on bird adaptations. We examined differences in bird beaks, feet, legs, and wings and determined how each body part helped the animal to survive. Next week, we will be creating our own birds and writing about how its adaptations help it to survive.
