We are researching animals! Students were so excited to hear that they were choosing the animal they would learn about. With 18 different animals and a lot of excitement, we began our unit by making and illustrating folders to hold all of our resources and work.
We began reading about our animals this week and learned how to take notes - in our own words! So far, we've learned about what physical characteristics, diet, and habitat mean. We also researched and discovered what our own animals' habitat, characteristics, and diet are. There was a lot of excitement as students began discovering new information!
As part of learning about nonfiction and our animals, we went to the computer lab to explore PebbleGo, a nonfiction text website. These scientists LOVED exploring this website. They watched video clips, listened to audio of animals, and read about different animals. They even got to read about different habitats and classifications. This was a free explore time so we'll be working with PebbleGo again this week to specifically investigate our animals.
