Busy as Beavers!
2nd Graders Research Animal Homes
The last two weeks have been busy for our second graders! In our new reading series, students read "Animals Building Homes" which talked about homes of animals such as beavers, weaver birds, humming birds, mice and gophers. The story shared the types of materials those animals used for their homes. Students also learned how some animals, such as bees and ants, work together to build their homes.
Students then had the opportunity to research an animal of their choosing and write a research report about their animal. They learned where their animals live, what they eat, what predators they may have, and some fun facts that they may have not known before. Then, students had to plan for and create a model of their animal's home. They had a great time being creative and their homes turned out great!
