    Mathematics

    I can find different rectangles with the same perimeter and compare their areas.

    Look: perimeter 10

    1. Half of 10 is 5, so length plus width make 5.

    3. The one closer to a square holds more.

    Find every rectangle with a perimeter of 18 units. One length plus one width must make 9.

    Science

    I can give examples of how the environment can change animals' traits.

    Same Animal, New Look

    Some animals look different when their environment changes. An Arctic fox has brown fur in summer and white fur in winter. A pet that eats healthy food and gets exercise grows strong. A fish in a crowded, dirty tank may grow slowly. The animal is still the same kind of animal. Its environment changed how its traits show.

    Social Studies

    I can describe ways people give time, talent, things and money.

    Four Ways to Give

    Jaylen helps his grandpa plant flowers at the town park once a month. That is giving time. Priya draws birthday cards for people at a care home. That is giving talent. The Ruiz family donates outgrown boots to a coat drive. That is giving things. Some families give money to groups called nonprofits, such as food banks or animal shelters. Families choose different ways and different causes, and every choice is respected.
