Rib-bit or Croak?
Some people may think frogs and toads are the same, however, they are not. To begin with, frogs live in wet places like marshes and swamps, but toads make dry places like deserts their home. Another difference is frogs have long, strong back legs for leaping and toads have shorter back legs for walking along the dusty ground. One similarity is they are both cold-blooded amphibians. Although they may look similar, clearly they are not.
We are working on comparing and contrasting animals and their habitats. Students will be researching and completing their own animal habitat poster with a partner.
Wednesday we will be having our chapter 4 test in math. Please be practicing multiplication facts 0-5 at home with your child.

Don't forget that conferences start on Friday. Please try to make the time scheduled for you as there aren't many available slots to reschedule to. It is important with so many conferences that you arrive on time and I will try my best to end on time. I would ask that you bring your child with you.
