We finished up Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Animals with Backbones, Grades 1-3 this week. Now, I have to make a decision...move onto Animals without Backbones, Grades 1-3 or stop for a month or so and study specific vertebrates more in depth. I really want to do the latter, but I'm worried about time. Having said that, we are taking next week to study owls, complete an owl lapbook I designed and dissect owl pellets.
- Completed Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Animals with Backbones, Grades 1-3 "Some Vertebrates Build Homes - What Is a Home?" and "Wild Animals' Homes" activities and worksheet (page 70), plus "Animals' Homes Minibook" and worksheet (page 71) from TeacherFileBox.com.
Wednesday
- Read Even an Octopus Needs a Home by Irene Kelly.
- Completed Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Animals with Backbones, Grades 1-3 "Some Vertebrates Build Homes - Make a Report" (page 72) from TeacherFileBox.com. (We skipped "Animal Builders" (page 71) since it is a lot like this activity.)
Friday
- Tessa read Castles, Caves and Honeycombs by Linda Ashman during reading.
- Read Whose Nest Is This? by Heidi Roemer.
- Completed Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Animals with Backbones, Grades 1-3 "Some Vertebrates Build Homes - Check for Understanding" (page 72) from TeacherFileBox.com.

| Tessa's completed "Make a Report" and "Check for Understanding" drawings. Most of the time, I go in another room while Tessa independently works on her drawings. It's always a big surprise to see what she comes up with. I thought she did a pretty good job on these two. |
