Please check behavior calendar daily.  Our class trip to the theater is Tuesday, April 5th.  We will still wear our school uniforms.

 

Module 6: Equal Groups(Multiplication Readiness)

Lessons 8,9,10 and Mid Module Assessment

Math Homework: Mon, Wed, Thurs.

 

Habitats Change: Unit 4 Lesson 3

Vocabulary:

1. drought**a long period of time when there is little or no rain.

2. endangered**when many of one kind of animal die and only a few are left.

3. fossil**what is left of a living thing from the past.

4. extinct**when plants and animals die out

 

Main Idea

1.  A fire or flood can change a habitat by causing plants and animals to die, or lose their homes.

2.  We should be concerned about endangered animals because they are part of a food chain.

3.  Fossils are important because they help us learn about how habitats were in the past.

4.  Animal fossils can tell us how animals looked and moved long ago.

3.  Rain Forest***a habitat where it rains almost every day.

4.  Desert**** A dry habitat that gets very little rain.

 

Main Idea

1.  An example of a plant growing up to be like the plant from which it came from is a bean seed.

2.  An acorn will grow into an oak tree.

3.  Some animals that live in the woodland forest are deer, bears, and owls.

4.  Owls can live in forest because they have large eyes for hunting.

5.  Ferns, mosses, orchids, bats, jaguars, parrots, tapirs, wild boars, and insects live in tropical rain forest.

6.  Plants and animals use trees for food, for shelter, and to get more sunlight.

7.  Cactus and grasses live in the desert.

8.  Animals stay cool in the desert by being covered in light colors, by sleeping during the day and being active at night.

Science: A Closer Look

Unit 3: Lesson 5- Food Chains and Food Pyramids

Vocabulary

Food Chain**a model of the order in which living things get the food they need.

Predator*****an animal that hunts other animals for food.

Prey*********animals that are hunted by predators.

Food Web***two or more food chains that are connected.

Food Pyramid**a guide for eating.

 

Main Idea

1.  Plants need the Sun to grow and animals need plants to eat.

2.  Predators are animals like hawks, sharks, and snakes.

3.  Rabbits and giraffes are prey because they are eaten by other animals.

4.  Food webs are different from food chains because animals in food chains are eaten by one type of animal.  Animals in food webs can be eaten by many types of animals.

5.  Nutrients in food give our bodies energy and help us to grow.

Math Skills: Adding or Subtracting 1, 10, or 100 from numbers.

 

 

1. Life cycle**tell how an animal starts life, grows to be an adult, has young, and dies.

2. tadpole**a young frog that is hatched from an egg.

3. larva**the caterpillar stage of a butterfly's life.

4. pupa**when the butterfly is still in it's shell.

 

1.  Mammals have live babies and other animals lay eggs.

2. A frog is an amphibian because it lives both in water and on land.

3. Tadpoles live in water because they have gills to breathe and tails to swim.

4. A frog lays his legs in water and other animals lay their eggs on land.

5. A butterfly's life cycle is different from the life cycle of a chicken because a butterfly goes through a pupa and larva stage. A chicken does not go through these stages.

6. A young butterfly has wings that are closed and an adult butterfly wings are open and it is unattached.

2.Amphibians****Animals that live in water or on land.

3.Reptiles*****Animals with rough, scaly skin to help protect it.

4.Insects*****Animals with six legs, an antennae, and a hard outer shell.

 

1.  Scientist classify animals with and without backbones.

2.  Animals need food, water, air, shelter, and space to live.

3.  Animals get what they need by using different body parts.

4.  Mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles have backbones.

5.  Reptiles are different from amphibians because they have rough scaly skin and amphibians have moist skin.

6.  Animals like beetles, the dragonfly, and the crawfish have hard body parts.

Welcome back to school.  My name is Aquanetta Lawrence and thank you for allowing me to be your child's teacher this year.  I will be working with him/her in Math and Science.

 

Please follow the homework packet every week to give your child extra practice in each subject I teach.  Also, let your child read to you daily, practice their math facts for fluency, and parents sign off on the conduct calendar daily to track your child's behavior.

 

My planning period is daily from 1:20 to 1:30.  You may call the school at 318-757-3293 to schedule an appointment.
