- Which season will it be in your drawing?
- After students have fi nished their drawings, ask them to write
one sentence to describe their drawings of a forest habitat,
using their sound/letter knowledge to sound out and write their
sentences. - Have students share their journal page in small groups or with
home-language peers.
Habitat Review 15 minutes
- Display Habitat Posters 1–4 at the front of the class. Name each
habitat with the students. - Tell students that you will hold up an Image Card of a plant or
animal and that they need to help the plant or animal fi nd its
home, or habitat. Have students identify the plant or animal
on the Image Card. Then put the Image Card next to a Habitat
Poster and ask, “Does belong in the habitat? Hold
up Rattenborough for yes or keep Rattenborough on your lap for
no.” - Alternatively, you can place the Habitat Posters in different
locations around the room. Pass out Image Cards 1–15 to
students—either one card per student or one card per pair of
students, depending upon the number of students in your class.
Tell students to stand next to the Habitat Poster that depicts the
habitat of the plant or animal card that s/he is holding. Finally,
invite the students standing next to each Habitat Poster to
present the plants and animals that live in that habitat.
