Hello Boys and Girls!

Today we are learning about our 4 seasons.

Below you will see a picture showing each different season.  Make sure to read the word and think about why the picture matches it.  What’s different about each picture?  Can you tell the different seasons apart?

Good job reading and comparing.  There are alot of things that make each season different!

Here’s an example of why winter is special and different from any other season:

Here’s some question’s to get our minds thinking:

  1. Name one thing about each season that makes it different from the others.  (Remember to name four reasons.  One for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.)
  2. If it snowed in the summer what would happen?  Why would this happen?
  3. How do we know when a season changes?
  4. List three articles of clothing that you might wear in the snow, and give a reason why you should wear them.
  5. Describe your favorite season.  Why is that one your favorite?

Playing With Your Food-Chain (First Project~!)

Hello class.  I hope you’re all excited to begin our new lesson!  This will be our first project together.

Click on the “PROJECTS” tab at the top of the page and it will guide your to some fun websites to learn from. 

After you complete the activities there grab your Animal Journal, and do your best at answering the questions below.  You’ll hand your journals in at the beginning of class next week.

  • Deep Thinking Time!

                        Please answer the following questions and record them in your Journal:

  1. Decide which category you find yourself in. (Top-carnivore, Omnivore, Herbivore, Producer).  Explain why you chose this.
  2. Organize into two lists “Things You Eat” and “Things That Can Eat You”. Which list was easier to fill out?  Why?
  3. Now create a food chain including you as a Top-Carnivore, Omnivore, or Herbivore.
  4. Can a living human be a producer? Why or why not?
  5. Write a story about a carnivore/omnivore, an herbivore, or a producer trying to outsmart a top-carnivore/top-predator.

This is for Miss Cat’s second grade class at Yarnball Elementary.
