Started working on our Animal Notebooks
Me and the kids began working on their individual animal notebooks that they will be using when we begin our study of animal classifications and will work as a personal notebook/storage of information that we will gather as we begin learning about mammals, insects and birds.
This is separate from their nature journals, which will be smaller and easier to carry when we go on our nature walks/field trips.
For our goals for creating the Animal Notebooks, they are
- Develop an understanding of the basic classification system that is used
- Learn to use the classification system when we begin our nature studies this Spring
- Create a working notebook to be used for the storing and studying of different animals and insects and birds and how they inter-relate with each other (or not)
- Be able to understand the basic differences between the different classes and what makes them unique from the other
In addition, we are taking an online “Creating an Animal Notebook” class that is being offered here:
Here is what the kids made for their “Animal Notebook” covers:
and then here is the other:
