Research:
Invite children to use the computer as a tool to assist in their animal baby investigations. Assist them in using a search engine to gather information about their animal babies or to answer specific questions they may have about the babies.
Continued Weekly Activity
Animal Baby Book:
Ask your child to pick their favorite animal baby. You can help your child create an animal book. Together as a family, you can do online research or read books or magazines about the animal together at home. Families and children can write or draw pictures about the information they gather together. Children can write/draw what the baby animal is called, what it looks like, what it eats, where it lives, etc. If ready, children can label their work. For example, if a child is writing about bears, you can ask them what sound they hear at the beginning of the word, make connections to the written letter B, and encourage your child to write the letter. Please email a picture of any completed work to MsMcGarryCOVID19@gmail.com !
