In
Second Grade, students will learn about communities. We'll start by
asking students to think about their own habitats. A habitat is
the physical area where a plant or animal gets everything they need to live,
including shelter. Students will define their habitat, and even
a favorite pet's habitat. Later, we'll play a game about animal real
estate (habitats) and we'll take a walk down to the creek. There are
lots of animals whose habitats can be found in and around a creek!
We'll even do some water sampling to learn about the physical
characteristics of a creek.
Make sure to wear your boots or a pair of old shoes that can get muddy! This lesson is definitely a hands-on experience!
