Hello, Grade 1 Families,
Learning Intention: I can observe and describe similarities and differences between plants and animals. I can share examples of plants and animals that are native to Alberta. I can identify and explain what plants and animals need to survive.
We are fortunate to live in a beautiful city with Fish Creek Park nearby. We could extend our learning from inside the classroom to our outdoor classroom and see the plants and animals we discuss, in their natural habitats. During our outdoor learning, we were looking for many plants native to Alberta found in Fish Creek Park. See if your child can tell you what plants we found. We have been learning about what plants and animals need to survive (water, air, food and shelter). When looking at different animals and plants, we have been discussing how the environment around them meets their needs, if we can identify the ways, and what happens when plants and animals do not meet their basic needs. Students are learning about the life cycle of plants and animals and have planted their own seed and we have been eagerly watching our plants begin to sprout.
