We started Unit 6: How Many Now?  Please notice the math family letters in the home/school folder today. We practiced finding different combinations of numbers this week. One day the children played Toss the Chips to notice number combinations. They dropped chips that were red on one side and yellow on the other. They counted the total number of each color and recorded the combination. They practiced reading and writing teen numbers on the morning message.  We have also been keeping track of our number of days in school and our 100th day is just about a week away now!

Science 

This week we learned about grasslands. We read books about how animals have special features that help them survive in grasslands. These adaptations can be something special about the animal's body or something special the animal does. We learned how they find water since it is very hot and dry in those places. We also learned how trees like baobab trees store water in their trunks to use during dry times.

We completed the Scat and Tracks program from VT Fish and Wildlife. This week we learned about wild turkeys. We learned about their habitat, food, and fun facts. We did not see any turkey tracks on our final walk but it was fun to get outside in the woods!
