Monday, Jan. 30

This morning, Mrs. Johnson's class came over, and we began our study of vertebrates. We began with mammals. We read "Somewhere in the Ocean" and "Junior Buddy: A Jaguar's Tale." The second book was about the jaguar we saw in Mrs. Bruno's video of Belize.

We learned that mammals have hair or fur, breathe with lungs, give live birth, drink mom's milk, and are warm-blooded. We had deep discussions about whales, dolphin, sharks (even though they're not mammals), and jaguars.

In Mrs. Johnson's room, we read about dogs. We also worked on some questions that went with the story.
