When your child practices writing their spelling words at home, please make sure they are using capital letters correctly.  The only word that needs a capital letter is the word I.  All others should be written with lowercase letters without a capital letter added where it doesn't belong.

I can explain how animals depend on one another. 
I can understand how energy passes from one animal to another as it is consumed.
