This week, we jumped into the biome of the savanna and its ecosystems—though it felt more like the Arctic outside! We learned that savannas are grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs, a wet season and a dry season, and they are home to many incredible animals. We took a closer look at the African savanna and its amazing wildlife.
Some students brought home their Zoology Unit 2 writing this week. You’ll spot lots of scientific thinking, including detailed animal illustrations and thoughtful comparisons. The rest of the students will bring their work home on Monday.
Math time was full of hands-on fun! We played games like Build 20, where students added pennies to a 20-frame and stopped to think: “If I have 3 pennies, how many more do I need to make 20?” Students also loved measuring their legs and arms with cubes—and comparing their measurements with friends.
Snow Motion was incredible! Students with skiing experience found their rhythm right away, while first-time skiers impressed us all with their bravery and determination as they took on the hill. We can’t wait to head back next Thursday!
Enjoy some fun clips of the week!
