We've been working on learning about adaptations.
Students will be able to compare and contrast adaptations displayed by animals and plants that enable them to survive in different environments such as life cycles variations, animal behaviors and physical characteristics. (SC.5.L.17.1)
We've also been studying ancient Americans. Students will be able to compare cultural aspects of ancient American civilizations (Aztecs/Mayas; Mound Builders/Anasazi/Inuit). So far we've learned about the Maya, and will be focusing on the Aztec next.
We've also started a 5th grade garden. Students will be getting some hands on experience with plants to help them understand plant structures, and life cycles.
And, the MOST EXCITING thing happening is our Dash and Dot robots. Through a Donor's Choose project our class now has three little robots. Students will be learning about code and creating programs that the robots will be able to run.
TESTS
Still aiming for Friday test on animal adaptations and our Life Science Unit Test.
