Prairie Animals


Dear Mom and Dad:

We started off our morning finishing our “If” art. Ask me to tell you what I came up with. My teachers really enjoyed looking at our art and the ideas that I created

Ask me to tell you what I am working on in math.

In the afternoon we played a fun social game.  We tried to get over 100 points as a class. This is a team building skill and we talked about what it means to belong to a community and what my role is as a member of the Rainbow triad.

We are beginning our investigation about prairie animals. Ask me to tell you which animal I chose to learn more about. Today we looked at non-fiction books to gather information about what my animal looks like. I learned that there is lots of information I can find by reading and looking at the pictures.

Question of the day: What animal are you learning more about? Post a fact that you learned about your animal today.

Love,
The Rainbow Triad
