This week we began talking about animals as part of our Living Things unit. Just like with plants, we are learning about the features which help animals meet their needs. Yesterday we explored many photographs of animals and came up with various ways to sort them based on the features we could observe. Groups came up with great ideas, sorting based on ways the animals move, what covers their bodies, where they live and their scientific classification (mammal, bird, etc.) Next week we have two special visitors coming to talk to all the first graders about the living things of Oman...we hope no one misses these mystery guests! Today your child brings home a Living Things Field Notebook to work on over the long weekend. Please help your child remember to observe, draw, photograph, label and write about the living things he or she encounters over the holiday. We look forward to sharing these next week.
