Bats and Skunks
Room 4 studied 2 mammals. Bats and skunks are the same, but different! Bats fly, skunks creep, but both mammals are nocturnal. Bats keep the insect population down. Farmers love them. Skunks live a short life, eating worms and grubs, waddling through thick underbrush. They really hurt no one, unless... they are threatened! ask your child to hare how a skunk warns a predator before they spray!

A Reading Tip: Inferences
Parents, kids today spend a significant time in front of a screen. Here is a great way to support reading while watching with your child!
"Making inferences is especially hard when reading fiction because authors don’t always write how a character feels. They simply write what’s happening. Readers need to think like the character and understand the plot to guess what the character thinks and feels.
To make an inference, a student must make a logical connection between two or more ideas in a text. She needs to “read between the lines.” And research shows if a student can make inferences with pictures, comics or videos, she can make them with words.
So here’s a tip. Use an animated video to help your child develop these skills."
