This month our focus has been on different types of animals. After break we started talking about the different types of animals, and comparing and contrasting them. We talked about the difference between pets, ocean animals, zoo animals, and farm animals. Before our Zoo Field trip we each picked an animal and wrote a short report highlighting three significant facts about that animal. Each student then had the goal of finding that animal at the Lincoln Park Zoo. We then transitioned into ocean animals and created a booklet (as shown in photo) writing sentences about 5 different animals. Students worked at their ability levels whether it was identifying pictures, filling in pre-typed sentence, tracing, or writing out the sentences with the class. We then used our hands to make each animal using paint! We have learned some very interesting facts about so many different types of animals!
