Today in class we read aloud two chapters about a little girl and a little boy that went exploring in a cave. They had wondered in during a rain storm while attending science camp.
Question: What are the names of the boy and girl? What did the girl find in the cave that helped them?
Write the questions and answer them in complete sentences for "Going Beyond" credit! Good Luck!

Serious studying was completed as the TARGET students carefully examined their own pellet. The students predicted what they might find in the barn owl pellets and some were very accurate!
Many discovered the owls were not too picky in what consumed!
Soon scientific fingers were sorting all kinds of bones! It was the perfect pre-Halloween activity!
The 5th grade TARGET students have been quite busy researching tropical rain forest mammals, insects, amphibians, birds and reptiles. Using the Cobb Virtual Library each student has gathered research and created a graphic organizer with their information. This data will be used to create a brochure for tourists planning to visit a tropical rain forest in the future. Many students are becoming quite proficient in saving to their flash drives which will be an extra bonus skill used in middle school. This will be an on-going project for the next few weeks. You might want to ask your child to show you the information they have gathered thus far...I think you will be impressed with their levels of expertise! Great Job
Just a reminder to all 5th grade TARGET students to bring in materials for starting the rain forest animal sewing project. Check your organizer to make sure you have clearly thought through the process and have the necessary plan to be successful with this activity. Good Luck!
