February 1

Reminder - Aquarium Field Trip tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2.

Pajama Day - Friday, February 5 - Wear your pajamas to school!

A class list for Valentines was sent home today.

Today Mr. Mussellman visited the K classes.  Mr. M told us scientists sort animals into two groups, vertebrates and invertebrates. We belong to the vertebrate group because we have a backbone.  He talked to us about the animals we will see at the aquarium.

Sea stars have five arms and the arms are covered with suction cups. To help us observe the strength of a suction cup, Mr. M. attached a suction cup to the floor and asked a kindergartner to pull the suction cup off the floor.

Check out the lobster claws!

A giant model of a fish showed us the parts of a fish; eyes, fins, scales, gills and tail.

We counted eight tentacles on an octopus.
