ELA- We will continue in Module 4-Unit 2, students will be writing opinions and reading texts that will tell us about the dangers that pollinators face like bats and butterflies.
Science- Students will begin a new Science Unit on Heredity. They will identify ways in which plants and animals closely resemble their parents in appearance, even while being unique. Students will compare observable characteristics of animals and their parents; how they are alike and different. Our chicks have hatched and each student had an amazing opportunity to observe and gently hold them in their classroom.
Weekly Challenge: Tell you teacher if grasshoppers or dragonflies are a simple/incomplete metaphorsis or a complete metaphorsis.

Parents are welcome to visit their child for lunch. This is meant to be a special treat, not a regular routine, as lunchtime is an important opportunity for students to build friendships and practice social skills. We’ll have a few reserved tables in the cafeteria as well as outdoor seating available. Please make sure that you bring your ID as you will need to sign in as a visitor.
