This Week : We continued our unit on food webs and energy exchange in ecosystems. We explored the role of decomposers in ecosystems as well and how matter cycles, but energy flows (from one creature to the next). We talked about adaptations that animals have to help them survive, like camouflage.
Next Week : We will continue our unit on food webs and energy exchange in ecosystems. We will explore the history of Texas and the Earth as we examine fossil evidence for things that lived long ago. We will compare current ecosystems to our past environments.

This Week : We began our week 14 newspaper about Texas as a republic, its challenges and successes, their capital, important figures Jose Navarro, Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar, and Anson Jones as well as the origin of the Texas Rangers (not just our favorite baseball team!) We ended the week with a special pioneer presentation at Glenhope where students met "real life pioneers" to learn about their clothes, tools, food, and daily life.
Next Week : We will begin our week 15 newspaper about Texas annexation to the US, manifest destiny, and the ongoing war with Mexico. We will meet important Texas figures J. Pinckney Henderson and James Polk who helped Texas become a state.
