This morning, Mrs. Johnson's friends came over to watch Math Monsters with us. We're going to be studying about graphs, and they talked about collecting data. In math, we worked on more money word problems. In science, we talked extensively about our upcoming Skype with Julie Scardina. We're so excited. We even watched a 2:00 video that introduced us to her. We're about to have a strange homework assignment . . . to watch her and Jack Hanna on TV!!! We've never had that kind of homework before.

We also looked at some animal webcams. We watched the manatees in the Tampa Electric Company pool. We saw the barn owls, Mel and Sydney, who are about ready to lay eggs in their next clutch. We saw the hummingbird, Phoebe, who is sitting on a new nest. (She lays about six clutches a year, so she's ALWAYS sitting on a nest!)

We're excited about studying animals!!!!!
