Camping Unit Update

This week we are learning about the many animals we may see if we  went camping.

Monday we learned about bears. We read a non-fiction book and collected new facts we had learned.
We also had a BLAST watching a live bear cam:
Streaming video by Ustream Tuesday we learned about raccoons. We learned they are cousins to the bear and are not shy about getting food any way they can! We also found a live cam of baby raccoons. Very cute!
Video streaming by Ustream Wednesday was deer day. We talked about the two kinds of deer that live in North America (the White Tailed and Mule) and how long they normally live. The name of the animal also gave us a chance to discuss homophones and how it is important to know meaning and spelling of different words. Thursday and Friday will be devoted to everyone's favorite stinky animal...
