Short, Busy Week

This past week we had a visit from one of the librarians from the Roseville Public Library.  She read students a story and then shared with students about getting a library card.  Students will be bringing home a library card application in their Wednesday folders on Wednesday.

We also read the story Agate by Joy Morgan Dey.  We spent time talking about the lesson Agate the moose learned in the story that each and everyone of us is special!

Students then watercolor painted their own self portraits.

We ended our short week by playing learning bingo with our 6th grade buddies -- it was lots of fun!

Animal Presentation

For the past two weeks we have been learning all about the animal kingdom.  We spent time learning about six different animal groups: mammals, birds, fish, insects, amphibians, and reptiles.  Students learned about the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates, cold and warm blooded, animal coverings, and where animals live.  

This past Friday we had the wonderful opportunity to have a former Brimhall student and recent Roseville High School graduate come and share a fantastic animal presentation with us.  Students had a chance to see and learn more about several different amphibians and reptiles including: tree frogs, a salamander, a bearded lizard, a blue tonged skink, a tortoise, a corn snake, and a boa constrictor.
