We will be learning about nocturnal animals this week.
We will focus on skunks, armadillos, mice, bats, porcupines, and opossum.
Opossums are marsupials and are very helpful to humans because they eat ticks, cockroaches, and mice.
One opossum can eat 90% of ticks in an area and can eat over 5,000 ticks in a season!
Skunks are also beneficial because they eat insects and mice.
Skunks only spray as a defense mechanism and can spray over 12 feet away.
“No” is our word this week.
Please help your child read the words “Dad and No”.
Our letter is "N", and our song is "There's a Mouse".
There's a mouse, a mouse, a mouse in the house oh no!
There's a mouse, a mouse, a mouse in the house.
Where'd it go?©Jen Jones
