Morning Message 2/16/10

Good Morning! Today is Tuesday, February 16, 2010.
Tiger Day: E
Day 100 of School! (not technically, but according to the schedule), 80 days left

REMINDERS: Yearbook orders are due Friday! Don’t forget about the Get Fit Challenge!

This Morning:
  • Adaptations mini-posters. Remember: You need to highlight (1) a structural and (2) a behavioral adaption for both of your chosen animals.
  • How adaptations happen by chance.
  • If we have time, we’ll make our last video stop on our electronic fieldtrip.

Changes to the Schedule:
The teachers had a meeting yesterday with City administrators. This is what we know so far: Like I told you yesterday, we have 2 extra days of school (yesterday and a teacher work day in April.) In addition, we will start school 10 minutes earlier each day and end 5 minutes later. Our Wednesdays will be longer-- some will be full days.

To-Do List:
  1. Complete your morning routine! Don’t forget about snack!
  2. Signed report cards can go in the “Notes for Ms. Bragg” box.
  3. Continue working on the rough draft of your adaptation mini-posters. You need to (1) describe each adaptation (ex: What does it look/sound like? How does it work?) and (2) describe how each adaption helps the animal survive.
