This Notebooking Resource
This WP Exclusive “Burrows, Beehives & Beds Journal” is an interactive notebook in which students record experiment outcomes, track weather, study animals and more! It features over 300 pages of interactive journaling, experiments and crafts. This journal mirrors many activities in the older “Habitats, Hollows and Homes Journal,” but also has special activities developed for young learners that involve simple crafts, easy experiments, or early learning skills. Your student may “Hunt Like a Squirrel,” “Make a Bear Paw Sign,” “Make an ‘M’ Forest,” or even “Create a Salmon Flip Book.” Fully illustrated and consumable. NOTE: This resource is printed in black and white with some color pages.
Unique Aspects of This Journaling Resource
Both the “Burrows, Beehives & Beds,” and the “Habitats, Hollows & Homes Journal” offer nature observations to get kids interacting with the seven ecosystems they’ll study this year. Students in each age group will do the same or similar observations, each at their own level.
The observations in each unit involve many different types of nature experiences. Students are asked to observe and draw “one small square” of a habitat, write down what they see or sketch it, participate in experiments either outdoors or inside, observe animal behaviors, look into plant life or get to know natural processes, or try real-life learning activities. Along the way, they’ll also get a feel for some of the people who work with animals or their habitats, and investigate natural substances such as sand, ice, grass, rock, leaves, and water.
