In LA today we finished the book Stuart Little.  In the last chapter Stuart decided to continue on his journey north to look for his friend Margalo.  We are now going to watch the movie version over the next few days and then compare how they are the same and/or different.

In our Plants and Animals unit we talked about how we value animals.  We learned that we use animals in lots of different ways and that they are important to us.  Some of the things we use animals for are:

1. food
2. transportation
3. clothing
4. work
5. recreation

We also watched the Magic School Bus: In a Beehive.  We learned that we need to value bees because they give us honey.

In our Building Things unit we built log cabins out of popsicle sticks.  We then compared houses to see what was the same and what was different.
