Language Arts
We will continue working with adverbs and adjectives as we diagram even more interesting sentences. Remember that an adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.Many adverbs end in "ly." Remember than an adjective modifies a noun. Adjectives add interest to the noun and usually come before the noun.

Science
Our mammals investigation continues! Last week we examined 7 skulls. We learned that the first two (and real!) skulls belonged to a squirrel and a coyote. The 5 pictures belong to mystery mammals. You wrote your initial hypothesis concerning these skulls. This week we will learn about teeth. What do mammals eat? What is an herbivore? An omnivore? A carnivore? Check out the Skeletons and Skulls page. There are several opportunities provided to examine teeth and skulls. Though these skulls may or may not be the same as the 5 in our class (I won't tell you yet!), you can get many clues from studying them.
