Ecosystem & Native Americans

In Science: We are really involved with understanding how our ecosystems interdependent of each other.  The students are learning so much about producers and consumers.  There is going to be a quiz this week on ecosystems.  I also have a surprise activity this week weather permitting.  Keep your fingers crossed.

In Social Studies: We are learning about Native Americans.  They will learn the ways of the Native Americans and how life changed when the European settlers came to North America.  Ask your student about the rap.

First Week of School

I can't believe we have surrendered the first full week of school.  So far the students came in eager and open to learning about Science.  I even changed some opinions about Social Studies.  I just may discover some historians when this year is over. 

Science: We are learning about Ecosystems.  The students have been identifying and linking the relationship between populations, communities, and ecosystems.  On Tuesday, we will have our first review quiz.  But there is no need to worry because this will be an open notes quiz.

Social Studies: We have just arrived in this "new" land called North America.  The students will be introduced to the Native American tribes that live there.  By the end of the week, we will be able to tell you the number of tribes and be able to name some of them.

We have started this year off right.  Now we need to keep the momentum going.  We can do it because we are LES cubs.  Learning Safari... Destination Success.
