My Project

Students will design animal habitats as we discover them throughout our unit. They will use their clipboards, markers, and dotters to create and design their own!! They will also create homes with the magnatiles. Students will learn about all the different animals from our story and local animals and their habitats as well! We will also take our clipboards on a nature walk outside and see if we can find some of our very own habitats at school! They can document on their paper of their findings. I will save these keepsakes along with their drawings with the laminating sheets!! Thanks so much!!!
