This last week we began our unit about animals and how their different parts help them to survive. Our first lesson was called, “Why do birds have beaks?” We did an activity to learn how the shape of a bird’s beak tells you something about what that particular bird eats.


(Apologies for not having pictures of all the students!  We were having technical difficulties! Sigh…)

You can continue to support your child’s curiosity at home! Any time you see a bird, whether on a walk or looking out the window, encourage your child to look and ask them what they think that bird might eat and why.

Why an annual fundraiser?
Our annual fundraiser helps fund field trips, after school clubs, other fun activities and best of all, this will help build a school for students in another part of the world!

Our class will be bringing home order forms for the “Schools Building Schools Fundraiser” today (sorry they’re later than other classes…our class somehow got overlooked).  Our goal is to sell an average of $100 worth of items per student (10 notebooks, 7 sketchbooks, or 5 wall art prints). If we are able to reach this goal then we will be able to have a dance party with Dr. Dave!  You are welcome to take order forms to work or around the neighborhood and the notebooks and journals make great Christmas or birthday presents.  Feel free to email with any questions.  Thank you for your support with this!

Students can earn a prize for each item sold and can pick those up before school on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays during the fundraiser.
