Going to the Zoo!!!!

We are so excited we are headed to the zoo to observe our Texas Animals that we researched through our PBL! (Project Based Learning).

We also donated money to adopt a Texas zoo animal! We adopted the Texas Alligator. We can 't wait to observe it in a natural made habitat at the zoo!

It is so great to be able to learn all about the animals and then actually go to observe them as they live. We will fill you in on our day soon!!

 

Motion and Movement

We are learning about motion and movement..... We observed what it takes for things to move! Up/down, sideways, across, straight, forward, fast, slow, and lots of energy no matter what the movement. We found out that lots of things take more energy than others. We decided it was much easier to push something! We even talked about friction and how it can change motion!

Read Across America

Today is Read Across America in honor of the author Dr. Seuss! We had the privilege to skype with a children's author Supdita Barhan-Quallen from New Jersey! It was so exciting to listen to her read a book she has written. She even read us a book that is brand new! It is called Snoring Beauty. What a great day!

 

These are some of the books we read that she has written. Thank You Ms. Bardhan-Quallen for spending time with us.
