We have begun our unit about Endangered Animals. \u00a0Look what we have done in only 2 days.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we read, defined, and discussed\u00a0Extinct Animals (<\/strong>like dinosaurs and the Dodo Bird) and\u00a0Endangered Animals.\u00a0<\/strong>We talked about\u00a0why\u00a0<\/em>animals become\u00a0extinct.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we began with making a R.A.N. chart (Reading and Analyzing Nonfiction) about PANDAS.<\/p>\n

We wrote down our thoughts about “What We Think We Know About Pandas.”<\/p>\n

Then we read some information and filled in our RAN chart with<\/p>\n

“Confirmation” (of what we know)<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

“Misconception”<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

“New Information.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, we wrote 3 sentences about PANDAS, using the information that we now had about PANDAS. \u00a0(Their sentence composition was terrific!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, we created a chart to collect information, according to different classifications. (Appearance, Food, Habitat, Continent, and What Can We Do to Help?)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We focused on PANDAS this morning. \u00a0This afternoon we added KOALAS. \u00a0Check it out!!<\/p>\n

\"pandas\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"koalas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Journal Writing about Pandas and Koalas.<\/p>\n

I will post a picture of our chart too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’re really putting all of the curriculum areas together. \u00a0We’re learning AND having fun!<\/p>\n
