Polar Animal Habitats & 100th Day of School

This week was busy as we continued to research polar animals and their habitats.  We began finalizing our plans on how were going to share our data and information.   In addition, students began to make a plan about the habitats they are creating for their clay animals.  For the animals habitats, we began planning, cutting, painting, and much more.  

 
Last week they sculpted their animals in Mrs. Pinto's art studio.  Mrs. Pinto put the clay animals into the kiln, and the students will be painting them this week.  You will be able to see all of the students hard work this Friday, February 28th at our open house from 8:15-9:00am. 

Also this week, we celebrated the 100th day of school!  I can't believe we have hit the 100th day of school and that we are nearly half way through our third quarter.  To celebrate the 100th day of school, students brought in collections of 100 small objects.  We worked on counting our collections out by groups of ten, wrote a label for our objects, and invited Mrs. Gore's friends to take a stroll through our museum.  

Again, please come check out our open house this Friday from 8:15-9:00am.  We will have some delicious breakfast for you and your family to enjoy as you mosey around our classroom to see all we have learned about polar regions and their animals.
