We have been focusing on many topics in science lately! We have become experts with living and non-living organisms. We are reading and writing about them everyday. 
Out of all of our living organisms, the ANT has become our favorite, as many of you know! ;0) We have an ant farm in our class.
We watch our Harvester Ants work on their tunnels every day!
We have looked at ants in the microscope to analyze their anatomy and help us draw pictures. We have learned all of the terms for their body parts and Ms. Robin even tested us on them!!!!!
We use our materials from the outside to help us learn about environments and habitats. We are learning how to study what we find to make a "hypothesis" about how animals live, and what animals use the environment for. We all love to make a hypothesis!
We have studied sketches from artist on landscapes to help us learn how to use shading and draw parts of our environment.
We are making bird feeders for our "bird wonderland" outside. We draw, measure and plan out precisely how we want the bird feeders to be.
We have learned about the different types of birds, and Annika is mapping out where each one lives.......
And just to keep ourselves on track, we make sure we have a plan each day. We write the day, the month and the date........
