The 5th and 6th graders were fossil investigators earlier in the week trying to determine what made the imprints. They had to take measurements and draw sketches of what they saw. They determined the imprints were made by a twig, shell, two different sized starfish, rock, and a pine cone.
Our textbook says, "By studying fossils, scientists have learned that most of the organisms that have ever lived-over 99% of them, in fact - are now extinct; which means that God has created up to 200 billion separate species." WOW...what an amazing, creative God we have!
The seventh graders did an excellent job of leading our See You At the Pole this past Wednesday. What beatiful morning and what a great turnout!
The 5th and 6th graders began a unit this week on the 'DIVERSITY OF LIVING THINGS'. We did an introductory activity having to come up with a classification system for leaves brought in by each student. They met their objective...now, on Monday, Mrs. Nelson is going to bring in some "special leaves" to test their classification system...we will see how it goes.
Also, our 5th and 6th graders will be going back in time to the early 1900s this week. Check back for photos. We are all excited about this field trip!!
