We were so lucky to have a worker from the Bean Museum come to our school and talk to all of the 5th graders about animal adaptations!
We got to see and touch several animals including: a turtle, a tarantula, and a boa constrictor snake.
Each 5th grade class is studying and observing animals. We are specifically learning about heredity in STEM right now. Our class is lucky to have MEALWORMS that will turn into BEETLES!
We had to clean out the containers the other day to give them a fresh habitat. It got a little messy!
I gave the students 45 minutes and they had to compare and contrast two animals with their group. They also presented their information in front of the class. They did a fantastic job!
We think our mealworms might be getting closer to becoming pupas because a lot of them are getting whiter and fatter.
Valentine's Day!
My students do not lack creativity...that's for sure!
It was so fun to see all the different designs the kids came up with for their Valentines boxes.
We even had a moving valentines container: a toy car towing an envelope full of candy and cards! A true STEM student right there!
We also spent the morning researching presidents.
Each student picked one President of America and made a mini book all about their president.
They had fun sharing their books and information about their president.
Happy Valentine's Day and President's Day!
