An Insulation Problem

Today we learned that sometimes animals can come across problems that prevent them from being insulated. We looked at different animals that are facing some of these problems-the coyote (mange), polar bears (melting iceburgs) and grizzly bears (woken up from hibernation early). We talked about what would happen to these animals in the winter time.

How can I solve the problem of animals not being insulated because of things like mange, climate change and melting ice burgs?

Over the next couple of days, students in Room 2 will be doing different activities to help us understand how we can create a device/invention. I'm sure your child will come home excited to share about their learning!

3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "In Math we found out the centipede problem. It was 84. We learned how to work with each other which is also known as collaboration. We collaborated to solve the problem. " C.S.
2. "In Science we learned that coyotes can get a parasite. There fur falls off and they can't eat. They can't survive the cold." O.S.
3. "In Inquiry we were making our Who Was Here clues. Today I learned my animal eats grain. " M.S.

Reminders:
1. Science Home journals due back by Friday.
2. Leighton Centre field study forms due back now.

I will be away until Tuesday. If there's anything urgent you need to speak to me about please feel free to email me as I will still have access to email.
