The children chose which habitat they wanted to explore in.
The Arctic Zone
Children made an igloo out of sugar cubes. They had to count and record how many cubes they used. They loved playing "Don't Break the Ice."
The Desert
The children loved digging animals out of the sand. They sorted the animals by their beginning sound.
The African Savannah
In the Savannah, students played Crocodile Teeth and made animal puppets.
The Ocean
Children went fishing and sorted real words from nonsense words.
They loved playing ocean animal memory.
The Woodlands
Children estimated how many animal crackers are in one box. They counted, then sorted each animal cracker by their habitat. Of course they had to eat them!
Habitat Sort
Children made flip books of the different habitats.
