ELA: This week we are working on the practice MAP test and taking the actual MAP test. Practice tests can be found at the link above.
Science: We are continuing our focus on animal and plant adaptations. We will learn about how hard it is to be cold-blooded; always having to find a place to cool down or warm up. We will also learn about how plants have different types of leaves to help them survive. We will make an information wheel to help us learn about what the different leaves do. Finally, we will look at some extreme animal adaptations on our planet including animals that shoot blood out of their eyes for defense and an octopus that can shape and color change.
