Our Frog Blog
We will be looking at environments this week! Get a head start by going to:
www.brainpopjr.com (login: bulverde – password: school) Tyoe in “Habitats” and choose one to look at.
Then… comment and tell me: What did you notice about the environment? How do you think the animals and plants get their basic needs met?
Remember when we had our special author, Lucas Miller, come and sing about the life cycle of a frog? Watch by clicking on his link below: http://www.youtube.com/user/biorhythms?v=jR0EPHyo128
After you watch, comment and tell me the 3 parts to the life cycle of the frog we learned!

Dr. Science has been teaching us about objects in the sky and their characteristics! Explore objects in the sky with this game linked below:

Comment and tell Dr. Science an object in the sky and the color, size, movement, and position!
Dr. Science taught us all about the weather! Post a comment and tell Dr. Science something you learned about weather!
We are learning about animals and their characteristics! A great and fun way to create a new animal is to go to:
http://www.buildyourwildself.com/
See what characteristics you can add to yourself as you change yourself into a new animal!
What are the five needs of a plant? What are the parts of a plant? Watch the songs we sang to this week to help you review!
We have been working hard describing what makes an object living and what makes an object nonliving. Read the book and play the games to practice what you learned about living and nonliving things!
