Thee Buckeye Bulletin

Line Time:
Reptiles-This past week we learned about Reptiles. Reptiles are vertebrates (have a spine or backbone), cold blooded (their body temperature changes with the surrounding temperature), have dry scaly skin, hatched from hard shell eggs. Examples of reptiles are turtles, snakes, alligators, and lizards. We suspect that dinosaurs may have been reptiles.

***Godzilla and son may have been reptiles.***

Did you know?
When it comes to the alphabet everyone knows that “Z” is the last letter, but did you know it wasn’t the last letter to be added? Although located in the first half of the ABCs, “J” is a latecomer and was the 26th of the current set of letters to be added.

Last week trivia answer: Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo went to Woodridge High School.

This is the Pink Level individual rhyming work. This work supports the child’s developing understanding of spelling patterns.

This student is working on the Binomial Cube found in the Sensorial area. The direct aim of this binomial cube is for the kids to correctly build the cube within the box while using and developing visual acuity and dexterity.
