Animal AdventuresTeacher: Faith Bruck
FALL: Join us on an animal adventure to the Outback! This semester, we will visit the Land of Oz--Australia. Did you know there are animals out there with names like dugong and kookaburra? We will learn about these and 8 more animals, and we'll work weekly on a cumulative poster to be brought home on the last day. We will learn the geography of the area, classify the animals by kingdom, discuss traits and characteristics, and practice sketching our animals. I hope to see you there...G'day, Mate!

SPRING: Join me south of the border as we meet the animals of Central and South America! From chinchillas to toucans, I will introduce 10 new creatures to the animal lover in your family. We’ll explore habitats, characteristics and traits, and a little geography. By the end of this class, your student will have a wealth of knowledge about some pretty cool creatures…and a handmade poster to show off! Each week we will begin class with a game reviewing what we learned the week before. We will then focus on one animal. We will identify its habitat, traits, and classification by making an in-class chart for that animal. Your student will also sketch a picture of the animal to be applied to a poster that we will work on all semester. We will round off the class by reading books and looking at pictures of that animal. Each student will also receive a worksheet about that week’s animal for reinforcement at home.
