We celebrated the 100th Day of School last Friday. In our teacher minds this really means only 1 thing... Only 80 days until summer!!! to teach our largest science study of the school year! This has slowly become our favorite part of the school year, but the idea of teaching 5 habitats was definitely enough to make us feel seasick a few years ago when our District moved this curriculum to first grade. But, not anymore! We've got our passports ready and our itineraries set. Our class is ... VIEW POST

Habitats of the World Lesson Plans
