Our Research On Habitats
The children are having a great time researching their habitat. I have them divided into 5 groups and each group has their own habitat. Last week, we looked at location, land formation, and plants. This week, we will focus on the animals in the habitat and create their own research journal. You can see the charts they are responsible for: What We Think We Know, Yes We Were Right, New Learning, We Don't Think This Anymore. They use sticky notes so that they can move their learning around as they research. I love the talking and sharing they do!
