Dear Parents and Students of Grade 4

We have continued our work on Animals with a focus on Evolution To date:
 * We have completed activities reinforcing evolution of fictional Uber Fuzzies over one million years using simulation software to:
 * Document the Uber Fuzzies original range of physical traits used to meet their needs.
 * Identify changes to the environment that effected the Uber Fuzzies over one million years
 * Document the changes to Uber Fuzzies traits over time to meet their new needs in a constantly changing world.
 * Students should have a working definition of the terms: Basic Needs, Adaptations, Learned Behavior, Instinctive Behavior, Genes/Genetics, Purebred, Hybrid, Evolution, and Mutation.
 * Student are applying this information in the study of the theory of Bird Evolution from Dinosaurs of the past.

Feel free to contact me a pthomas2@bostonpublicschools.org if you have any questions. Please identify your child using first and last name as well as classroom so I can reference parent primary language in my records if I need to do translations to assist you.

I hope to hear from you.

Patrick M Thomas.
