We continued stations in Phys Ed. Tomorrow we will be starting to go outside. Please help me to make sure I have the appropriate gear to participate in Phys Ed outside.

We had music this afternoon, and we'll have it again on Monday, so will you also help me to remember my recorder? I can even bring it to school tomorrow just in case.

For the remainder of the afternoon, we focused on science. We joined the other Grade 2s and watched a video about how animals keep cool in the desert. This is the opposite of what we have already learned, how animals keep warm in the arctic.
A few things we learned from the video are:
-jack rabbits keep cool through their ears, similar to how vehicle engines keep the water cool
-once the sun goes down the air cools off
-very rarely does it rain in a desert but when it does, a lot of rain comes, and new plants bloom and more animals come out
-animals eat plants
-cactuses have prickles that are leaves which store water
-animals have home that are underground to shade/protect from the sun during the day and cool air at night

Tomorrow we will review the thermometer we starting learning about on Tuesday.

We made a t-chart about what is Hotter then Nunavut and Colder then Nunavut.
Hotter then Nunavut:
-Texas
-the sun
-human body
-fire
-Mexico
Colder then Nunavut:
-ice
-mountain tops
-snow
-Neptune
-North/South Pole
