Smart Boards! =)


This year we got a smart board in our science room! They're amazing! You hook them up to your computer and then whatever is on your computer shows up on the board. It's so much easier to see the lessons now because it's nice and large. Now class is more fun because we can play more games, too. It's also really cool that you can write on the board with these special markers made just for the smart board and whatever you write on the board will show up on your computer. Technology has come so far!

SQUIRRELS!! =D

In science we are learning about symbiosis. Symbiosis is the relationship between two organisms. The picture above depicts the symbiotic relationship between a squirrel and a tree in a park. The squirrel and tree show commensalism, which is the symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits while the other is unharmed. In this case the squirrel is provided a home while the tree isn't harmed.
Symbiosis is so interesting because it's found everywhere with almost every living thing. I am a part of symbiosis! I think that's so cool!
