Dear Friends,
Let's take a virtual field trip to the ocean today! The graphic above shows how food chains in the ocean waters around Antarctica are interconnected. Look at the arrows. Can you figure out which animals depend on plankton? It might be more than you first think! When we participate in the special program today, we will learn about different kinds of plankton and why they are important. I will see you in Massachusetts!
Love,
Ms. Kaim
Question of the Day: Many types of plankton, like the ones shown below, are microscopic in size. Have you ever looked at something through a microscope? Comment below!
Work at your own pace in your Phonics workbook. Start where you left off last week. You should be able to complete several pages if you work steadily for 20 minutes.
- Send Ms. Kaim the last page you do today. Thank you!
