"I can feel my brain getting bigger..." quote from Blake

In Writer's Workshop we have been writing stories from our life and talking about ways that we can make our stories "come to life."

We have also been working hard in math...we are estimating:

...we are doing surveys...

...and we are doing algebra on our ipads...

When we research, we are finishing up our "immersion" stage and soaking up new knowledge and collecting new learning on our class charts.

We are especially noticing how animals' bodies are specially made to help them survive.
We read the book Best Foot Forward which tells us about how feet are specially made to help animals survive.

What kind of body parts do these animals have that help them survive?
