Continuing with our geography study, we did an Animal Habitats activity. I wanted to do a “formal” presentation for Pinky a while back; however, I never got the opportunity until now. My goal with this is to settle down the basic knowledge before starting to “formally” learn about each one of our Continents.
*Note that I wrote` the word formal between (“)…..this is because she had been exposed to these themes for quite a time now but we didn’t discuss, explore or manage them individually.
First we talked about land, water and air.
Then, we continued with the Biomes and the animals we find there. At Montessori Print Shop you can find a short description about each biome plus great animals photos that live in each. (link below)We have multiple atlas books that we used as a reference.
Pinky classifying her animals cards (from MPS).
Another activity we did was to classify our animals figurines by their habitats using a 8x 11 printable of each one. (So sorry I can’t remember where I got these. They are in French. However, they are easy to make just printing a 8x 11 photo from Google.
