Week of October 7th

The Stingrays began working on their culminating project for evolution this week.  They were asked to invent a creature that will go through a series of changes due to variations in diet, environment, climate, habitat, etc.  They decide in which era(s) their creature lived and have to research the changes that occurred during the time periods and how that would affect the creature.  They will be creating a PowerPoint presentation over the next few weeks charting this evolution.  Below are the Scientific and Common names for each child's creature.

The students did a great job sharing the songs they wrote for skip counting.  They will be using these songs to help them with their multiplication facts this year.  Be sure to ask them to sing the 6 different songs to you if you missed Gathering today.  Here are some pictures from their performance.
