Seek- And- Find

In science, we have been studying different attributes of animals. I gave the students books about different ocean animals. Their job was to find each the attribute words (also or vocabulary words) in the non- fiction text. The students loved reading about the animals and finding their vocabulary words!

Categories of Animals

Today our objective was to investigate different ocean animals and put them into categories based on their attributes. The students were asked to work as a class to figure out which animals belonged in one group or another. They told me where I put them. Then we put them on a chart to list what they had and named each group. We had so much fun!

Ocean Life Unit

Hello! We have started on our science unit about animals. We choose to focus on animals in the ocean since we live near the ocean! We are keeping an Ocean Life Journal. Here are some pictures of them writing about the different categories of animals.
