February 2

Happy Groundhog Day! Today we discussed the body temperature of a mammal compared to that of a mammal that is hibernating. The normal temperature of a mammal is about 99 degrees. One that is hibernating is only 43 degrees! We then put ice into water until it was 43 degrees and wrote about if we would be comfortable sleeping in that temperature. The kids had a blast! Tomorrow we will continue talking about chemical reactions and how things change when introduced to the cold or heat. We will be doing a science experiment using pudding!

Pizza Hut reading certificates went out today. Please send your child's reading log in tomorrow if you have not do so already. On that note, I am sorry to say the Phillipsburg Pizza Hut has closed. Though you cannot eat-in at the one in Hackettstown, they will honor your certificate.

For homework tonight, students should use each spelling word in sentence.

Keep practicing those -oi- and -oy words!

Our mid-year math test is on Tuesday, February 7.

Have a great night!
