Animals

Introduction
We talk about what a habitat is. Then I show some animals that live in specific habitats.
I like a PP I downloaded from teacherspayteachers.com

I pass out my pictures of animals and have the students sort them into the correct habitats.

The class then gets to vote on 1 animal from each habitat to learn about.
