The Berthold first grade class has been busy learning all about animals! 🐾
We began by exploring animal habitats and the adaptations animals need to survive. From there, each student chose an animal to research and created a Canva presentation that later became a poster board project. The students were so excited to share their research findings with classmates, elementary students, and their families!
As a class, we also learned about butterflies, including their life cycle and body parts. This week, our butterflies hatched, giving students a fun hands-on learning experience they will not forget. 🦋
One of the most exciting parts of our animal unit was welcoming three baby chicks into our classroom. Students loved observing their habitat, watching them grow, and of course getting the chance to hold them! Our classroom visitors enjoyed them just as much. 🐥
To wrap up our animal research unit, the first grade class took a trip to the zoo this week where students observed giraffes, tigers, lions, and many more amazing animals in person. It has been such a fun and engaging learning experience for everyone! 🦒🐅
