What a Wonderful "Dae!"

Meet "Dae" (the Japanese word for "wonderful") our special visitor from the Spartanburg Humane Society who came to our class today!

Here are our vocabulary words!

 

 

We learned all about taking care of animals at the shelter such as... 

 

 

How to find lost animals using microchips!

 

 

 

 

How to feed the animals!

 

 

How to properly brush the animals

 

 

And bathe them

 

 

Show them love and care

 

 

Give them medicine

 

 

Be veterinarians

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Show lots of love!

 

 

 

 

 

 

and how to be kennel technicians and take them on walks :)

We are starting a new PBL Unit "A Walk on the Wildside" where we are learning about animals in every subject. We are learning vocabulary in reading related to the animal shelter. We learned that animals have LEARNED behavior and INSTINCTIVE behavior in science.

Here are some videos of our class showing Dae's learned behavior tricks :)

 

 

Another question that we talked about and will continue learning about-Do animals have FEELINGS??

Classification of organisms Research

We have been learning all about how to classify organisms into vertebrates, invertebrates, nonflowering plants, and flowering plants. We would love to show you our research!!

 

Look below, please leave us comments and let us know what you liked and questions that you have!

 

What are vertebrates ?

By, Nate Owings , Karlie Mathews , Bryan Rhodes ,

Kayley Pruitt and Isabella Troski

 

Vertebrates are animals with a strong backbone. Like a cheetah, sharks, red-tailed hawk, frog and an

Alligator.  Vertebrates do not make their own  food. They must get energy from eating plants or animals.

 

Cheetahs are vertebrates with a very strong backbone.

 

alligators are vertebrates that eat animals.

 

        The incredible invertebrate                                                               

Invertebrates have no backbone, some have shells and a hard xo-skeleton. Some have stingers, some don’t. They can’t make their own food. They are consumers. Some lay eggs, some don’t.

 

                  By: Matthew, Abril, Naomi, Kailey, Jacob

      The spider does not have a backbone but it has a hard xo-skeleton.

 

The jellyfish Jellyfish has no backbone but a soft xo-skeleton.

                             Examples

Some examples are Gasses, roses, oak tree, fruit tree, and tomatoes.

 

 

 

 First Apple trees grow flowers Then in summer the flowers Turn in to apples.

 

 

                                                                   

 A rose starts as a seed but grows Into a flower.

   

 Flowers make their own food by the sun; they contain seeds, flowers, fruits, and petles.

 

Nonflowering plants

Group members: Ashton, Ishmael, Julia, Millie Kate, Devin

                               Examples:

Some of the types of nonflowering plants are pines, spruce, ferns, mosses, and lichens.

 

                        Physical characteristics:                                             No flowers, it is a plant, It can be a tree, it carries CO2.

 

 

This Oak Tree is a plant, It has no flowers, And It carries CO2.
