Curricular Updates for February 23-27

Cougar Reading-  In class this week we will read articles about the importance of Dental Health as we recognize February for being Dental Health Awareness Month. In class we will do an experiment with  two eggs simulating the long term effects of plaque on teeth and over exposure to sugary foods.
The students will make predictions, observe changes and record their observations in their learning logs.

ELA/ Social Studies- The novel Buffalo Before Breakfast will be read aloud to the students this week as part of our study of the Plains Indians. In class, the students will work in groups to answer story questions by re-reading the text and working collaboratively to come up with the answers.

We will also take an in depth look at the importance of the buffalo to the Plains Indians as we study how their means of diet, shelter, and clothing all came from the buffalo.

Math- On Tuesday we will begin Topic 13 and begin to learning about coins and counting money.
