Reading Next week we will be reading Ant, by Rebecca Stefoff. It is a photo essay about the different kinds of ants that are found throughout the world. We will talk about how ants work together to get food, and about the kinds of things that ants eat. Our comprehension strategies and skills are text organization and question.

Science This week, we learned about the 4 layers of the rain forest. Students created a mini rain forest in a container. They are observing the process of transpiration, condensation and precipitation. Our caterpillars also arrived this week. We are learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. Next week we will discuss the people of the rain forest.
