Animal Locomotion

Our latest reading unit is on how the world changes.  We are only halfway through the four week unit.  In the first two weeks, we have focused on how animals and plants grow and change, as well as, animal locomotion.  From our reading we discovered that animals move to survive.  There are many different verbs to describe movement.  We recorded all the verbs we have found in our reading books on a "Move It" chart.

We also used a digital tool called padlet to share our learning. The students had to scan a QR code to have access to the padlet.  Then, the assignment was to take a photo showing text evidence of animal locomotion in one of their reading books.  The students had to take the photo and upload it to the padlet, they also had to write the verb describing how the animal moved.  The students were so excited to share their work.
