Mosaic Minutes

Have to Have a Habitat

11/20/2012

 
On Monday, our Early Elementary students learned about the different habitats we will find in our study of New Jersey. The children were able to tell us about these habitats in their own words:
Animals live in habitats. They need food, and they need to be safe. They all need water to drink. Some animals need water to swim in. Animals need to be in the right temperature. Some need big space and others live in small homes.

Water Habitat

Picture
All of these animals live in the water. Some of these animals live in New Jersey. There are two frogs in the water. There are two ducks in the water, and one goose. There are two alligators. Alligators do not live in New Jersey. All of these animals are wild animals.

Picture
To help the children think about habitats, we also read these books: The Salamander Room and Make Way for Ducklings, as well as another installment of Happy Jack Squirrel.

Forest Habitat

Picture
We made a place for the animals to live. This is the forest with bushes and fallen trees. There is a river with rapids. There is a bunny, two deer, a fox and two bears. This habitat is in New Jersey.

Please click the gallery below for more wonderful photos of our habitat projects and discussion. 
Happy Thanksgiving from Sally and Kim!
