Planning Page

Today we started planning our Diorama for our animal in science reminder that we will be starting to build tomorrow!

Create Your Own Animal

Today in class we created our own Animal using a simple diorama.
Below is an example of a plant creation.

Snap-a-doodle doesn't need a shelter to live.  But, they have snap mouths to protect themselves.  And that's why they call it a snap-a-doodle.

Timeline

This week we are working on putting together our time line!

Here is the paper we are using and the rubric on how we are being marked.

Math Reminder

Please study for our math test on Monday- Mr. H

Lorax Last Day: Poster Creation

Today we made posters in class to help others so they no longer polluted our planet 

Habitat Reminder

Lorax Day 3

Today we did a review on what pollution is and how it can harm us. Then we looked at how we can help the planet.

Pollution in The Lorax

• Water Pollution: All the Gluppity-Glupp and all the Schloppity-Schlopp made by the machinery is being dumped into the pond.
• What happens to the fish when you put all of this pollution into the water?
• Can you think of some other problems this might cause? ( No drinking water, no swimming)
• Air Pollution: The smogulous smoke being put in the air by the Thneed factory made the Lorax cough, whiff, sneeze, snuffle, snarggle, sniffle, and croak. The Swomee-Swans were no longer able to sing! The Lorax had to send the birds away to find some cleaner air to live in.
• Is air pollution only dangerous for birds?
• Where are our lungs? How do they work?
• How does breathing dirty air affect humans? (Breathing dirty air damages our lungs and makes us sick.)

Air Pollution	Water Pollution
Created by humans Carbon Dioxide is one of the worst pollutants. Air Pollution is created by: Cars, Power plants and garbage.	Polluted waters aren’t safe to drink or swim in and can cause illness. Humans can cause water pollution by: Throwing garbage in the water Leaks from factories Using a lot of water in the home without using environmentally friendly products. Laundry and Shampoo.

What can I do? Recycle and use water more than once Carpool with friends Take the bus Ride your bike Cut down on energy use by turning off lights, unplugging appliances and electronics. Finding ways to use less water. What are some examples of this?

Math Pattern Rule Review

Today in math we reviewed pattern rules and how to identify them.

The Lorax Day 2

Air Pollution

• What are some ways humans pollute the air? Fires, smoking, vehicle fumes (cars, airplanes, boats), household products (paint, aerosols, cleaners), wasting electricity.

The Lorax

Now that we have read the Lorax Try and answer these questions with a partner:

• The Lorax says that the Once-ler is greedy. Greed is defined as a selfish desire for food, money, or possessions over and above what one needs. Can you think of ways that the Once-ler proves his greed?
• The Once-ler says, "I biggered my money which everyone needs." Is it true that everyone needs money?
• How much money do people need?
• Is it right to make a lot of money while destroying the environment?

What is the difference between a want and a need. Did people need Thneeds?

Math: Orientation Patterns

Today in math we looked at how the Orientation of a shape can create a pattern

Math: Number Patterns

Today in math we refreshed our memories by going over Pattern Rules, Pattern Cores, and Pattern Attributes. We then looked at number patterns for the first time both completing and naming the rule.
