Animal Week

                                                                                                                   January 12 thru 16, 2015 

This week we learned about reptiles and amphibians. Reptiles lay soft shell eggs. Reptiles are also cold blooded. Amphibians have 2 lives, one in the water and one on the land. Turtles are reptiles. Frogs are amphibians. Our class made posters of Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Arthropods and Mammals. We glued on pictures. Our groups each wrote a paragraph about their poster.

We also learned about Salmon. Alevins are the second stage of the salmon life cycle. Alevins have a yolk sack! All our eggs hatched. Once the Alevin finish their yolk sac they turn into Fry. Fry eat their own food, they no longer have their yolk sac. 

Next week we get to feed and water the geckos. We're very excited. Josie feeds the geckos, crickets. We water and feed them Gecko food. We think Tavish brought his new pet gecko to class on Monday. His name is Tim Bit! Tim Bit walked on our carpet.

Our school went on the Polar Bear run and we wore our funny hats and crazy hair too!
