Have To Have a Habitat!

January is about habitats. The first week we had an overview of what a habitat was. It is after all a weird word. We will be talking about 4 habitats: The ocean, the desert, the forest, and people habitats. The purpose of this unit is to teach the students that animals live in different places and environments. Those that live in the ocean could not live in the desert. At the end of the unit I will have them sort animals into their habitats. I'll let you know how it goes.

For the next 2 weeks we are targeting the ocean habitat. Several of the classrooms are following the theme with a trip to the Aquarium. I am learning along with the kids! Check out this video created by BBC and see if you are familiar with facts of the Blue Whale.
