KINDERGARTEN IS WILD ABOUT ANIMALS

The Kindergarten students are learning about animals. They began by brainstorming a list of types of animals.  Next, they worked collaboratively in small groups to sort the animals listed into categories: pets, farm animals, and wild animals. Each child then chose an animal that they are interested in researching. Through the use of books and technology the children are searching for information about their animal's characteristics, habitat, diet, and offspring. They will create an informative and colorful poster as a tool to present their animal expertise to their classmates. No good study would be complete without a go beyond experience so we will be off to the Turtle Back Zoo later in the month.
