Guess what we added to our classroom today? We added a new class pet; a guinea pig named Cadbury. Our class gerbils were not adjusting to school life very well, so they are going to live at Ms. Jameson's house for now. Our guinea pig was an abandoned animal, and our class rescued her to live and play with us. Cadbury is dark brown with a white spot on her nose, and she is friendly and fun.
In math, we learned that there are three ways to write a number; it can be written in standard form (4,910), in word form (four thousand, nine hundred ten), or in expanded notation (4,000+900+10).
In science, we studied the life cycle of an insect. There are two kinds of metamorphosis; complete and incomplete. The stages of complete metamorphosis are egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Incomplete metamorphosis occurs when an insect looks the same as a baby as it will when it's an adult.
In reading today we learned about slavery in the southern United States. We listened to a story called "Follow the Drinking Gourd," which was a song that told slaves where to go if they escaped. Today we will be bringing home a book order form. We may order books through Ms. Jameson and through her website on Scholastic.com. Book orders are due Friday!!
We also had a tornado drill today; we are prepared for any emergency!
