Animals and their Habitats

Over the past week we have been learning about animal habitats. We looked at our animal pictures again and this time our job was to look at where they were living and what was in their environment.  We were able to name many of the habitats that animals live in: oceans, grasslands, forests, mountains, rainforest, Arctic, and deserts. We listed all the things that animals had in their environment.  . . . . . rocks, sand, dirt, water, trees, etc.  When we did this we realized that every habitat had similar things in it.   We discovered that many animals can live in different habitats.  Mammals can live in the water, the grasslands, the forest . . . . and even in the Arctic!  This is a picture of our learning.


Next we worked with a partner and used the iPads to investigate further what each habitat looked like and what types of animals live there. We shared our knowledge with others and made charts to show our learning.

Then we watched a video on the smartboard about animal habitats.  Our job was to confirm our knowledge about habitats and to look closely at what animals live there and what the environment looks like. 

Finally, we are going to create posters to show our learning about habitats.  We get to work in groups! Stay tuned for pictures of our finished products!
