Animal Habitats...

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been learning about different ANIMAL HABITATS!

Here are our FOREST ANIMAL HABITATS:

We talked about BEARS too and learned that you should NEVER wake a sleeping bear! What FUN we had learning about the "SH" sound!!

The kiddos had fun playing "Bear Cave Math" where their partners had to "guess" how many bears were sleeping in the cave. Who knew they were adding and subtracting at the same time?!

Our DESERT ANIMAL HABITATS:

Watch out for those sharp cactus plants!! 

We were so lucky to have one of our friends bring in two real LIZARDS on our desert day!!

They were SO much fun to watch!

 JUNGLE ANIMAL HABITATS:

In addition to habitats, we also learned about AMPHIBIANS and REPTILES:

We compared the two with a ven diagram: 

We used corn syrup paint to make the amphibians feel smooth and slimy

and we used glitter to make the reptiles feel dry and rough.

PENGUINS in Antarctica!

Now that we have learned about the North and South poles of the Earth, we took it a step farther and learned about the ANIMALS that live there!

Penguins were on the top of our list of animals to learn about! Here we are searching through books to find out more about them!

We discovered that PENGUIN DADDIES balance their eggs on their feet!

After trying it ourselves, we found they make it look easier than it really is!

We measured ourselves against the height of different types of penguins and found that they aren't much bigger than us! In fact, there were some penguins that were much much smaller! 

We played some penguin math games by matching the number on the penguin's belly with the amount of dots on their eggs.

We then used our finger prints to make a "Days of the Week" counting book...

They turned out so stinking cute!

Stay tuned for MORE posts on ANIMAL HABITATS!!

Top and Bottom of the World!

After we learned about the Solar System, we started learning about the Earth!

To start things off, we learned about NORTH and SOUTH and discovered that the Earth has BOTH of those! :)

We discovered that the Earth is made mostly of WATER and LAND!

 We used today's learning adventures to start the beginning of our ANIMAL HABITAT Unit!

OH! Let the fun begin!!

SOLAR SYSTEM

We had a FUN day today learning about our SOLAR SYSTEM today!

We learned that there are 8 planets in our Solar System and that the EARTH is a PLANET in our Solar System!

Making our own EDIBLE Solar Systems: 

 We cut out the letters in our last name to make a rocket to take us to the moon!

We even learned the names of all the planets! 

We ate bread stars for snack time.....

 ...learned about CONSTELLATIONS...

...and made some of our own!
