Animals and Their Habitats

We just finished our unit on "Friendship", and are now moving into Unit 2 in our Imagine It! books. Our new unit is called "Animals and Their Habitats." Our first story taught us how one tree can be a home to MANY different animals! We also talked about ways humans are able to protect animal's habitats. We know a big way to do that is by not littering and keeping our earth clean. Can you think of any other ways?

Don't forget you can log in to the textbook website. Just click the link to the left of the page titled Imagine It!, and it will take you to the log in page. It looks like this:


At the top where is says username and password, enter the login found in the front of your child's agenda book, along with the password. You will want to select Unit 2 Lesson 1. There are games and the textbook can be viewed online! This is an example of what our story looks like this week:


Just scroll through the pages! You can have your child read the story aloud to you, or they can listen to the story by click on the speaker. There is also a highlighter that will highlight the selection vocabulary and say the words and definitions for them. There are questions at the end of the story you can do together! It's really cool!
