Animals are Living Things

We began our week with a day off to celebrate Presidents Day.  Then we came back to school and made our official presidential portraits, and stated what we would do if we were president of the United States. 

 Then it was time to continue with our Living Things unit.

This week we talked all about Animals!

We began by discussing that all animals have babies, and some of the babies have different names than the grownup.  Like goats have kids, cows have calves, bears have cubs, etc.

We played a fun game where each student got a picture of a baby or grown animal, then had to make the noise that their animal makes to find their baby or grownup match.

We also discussed how animals move, and where they move.  Some move on land with legs, some move in the water with fins, and some fly through the air with wings.

Time to sort some animals:

 Finally we learned that all living things go through life cycles.

We found out that butterflies and frogs have very unique life cycles because their life starts as a completely different animal than it ends up.

We made frogs and frog life cycle books,

 and butterfly life cycle bracelets.

Bella was our wonderful Star of the Week last week.

Thanks for being a great leader, and the bananas were a delicious B snack!
