For this challenge, we are in need of the foam trays (well cleaned!) that come with meat and vegetables at the grocery stores. Thank you!

| This week in science, we learned about the 6 different animal groups. Before we learned about the groups, the kids sorted pictures of animals into their animal group and wrote why that animal belonged in that group. We came back to this activity on Friday and made corrections to what we had done on Monday. The kids were proud of how much they had learned! |
