Welcome back! Thank you all so much for the wonderful class gift. I truly appreciate your generosity! I hope your holidays were as enjoyable as mine.
We have a full week of learning in front of us! Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately to go outside during recess. Additionally, this is a great time to replenish pencils and other supplies. Quite a few children do not have pencils, and I am beginning to run low on my supply. Please check with your child.

Science: Students are going to analyze data from dinosaur fossils in order to provide evidence about the appearance and behavior of those dinosaurs when they were living. In the activity, Dinosaur Detectives, students compare the traits of dinosaur fossils with the traits of modern animals in order to help a paleoartist draw a dinosaur as accurately as possible.
