¿Quién está en ese hábitat? - Descripción general de una clase

Students will learn about the different habitats and the animals who live in them. 

- We will complete a "What's a Habitat" mini booklet. 
- I will prepare several sensory bins to represent each habitat, including the arctic, the ocean, the pond, the grassland, the rain forest, and the desert. 
- We will complete a habitat puzzle activity and work on sorting animals into their proper home. 
- We will watch videos, read alouds, and explore some books.
- We will discuss the differences in habitats and their animals. 
- If student's choose, they can bring their favorite stuffed animal to class and we will do a brief "show in tell" and sort their animal into the correct habitat. 
- If we have some extra time, I have some fun "Move like the....animals" brain break activity cards we will play with!
