We loved the idea of taking our students around the world to learn about plant and animal life around the globe! What we didn't expect was that it would take our science curriculum to a whole new level that our students would love.

Habitats of the World Bundle…Plus, A Habitat Book Cover Freebie
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

The World Didn’t End, So Teach About It We Must…
Well, we feel like we've given the Mayans and Nostradamus ample response time to end the world and so far they've got nothing! In the words of Tammy's 5 year old nephew...Phewf So, since the world is sticking around for hopefully another billion zillion years or so, we'll have to continue learning about it in class. Phewf... Which is actually a good thing. Not only that the world is sticking around... But, also because we adore teaching our class about Habitats! It's tough though... We ... VIEW POST
