This weekend we will celebrate Presidents Day. Click on the links below to learn more about some of our great Presidents. Answer the questions on your worksheet while watching these videos. Remember to be a "close watcher", just like when we are doing a close reading in the classroom. Sometimes you need to read (or watch) something more than once to understand it and be able to answer questions. - Mrs. D

We learned in class that an ecosystem is made up of all the living and nonliving things that interact in an area. Within each ecosystem there are producers and consumers. A producer is an organism that makes its own food, like plants. Consumers are animals, like us, who get our energy from eating plants or other animals that eat plants. These living things in an ecosystem are interdependent (meaning that they depend on each other to meet their needs). We all get our energy from the sun. Plants use energy from the sun to make their own food (a process called photosynthesis). Humans and animals then eat the plants to give them energy. This makes up the food chain. Ecosystems need to have a balance of producers and consumers, plants and animals, to survive. Today we are going to learn about keeping ecosystems balanced. Visit the websites below to learn more about maintaining a balanced ecosystem. Share what you learned:
