Today, Year One worked together to classify animals into mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. They used their knowledge of animal characteristics—like fur, feathers, scales, and where they live—to sort them correctly.
Isaac ” I know it is a bird because it has feathers and a beak.”
Ada “Amphibians have webbed feet and live on both the land and in the water.”
Ava “Fish use their gills to breathe!”
Help at Home
- Spot animals in books or outdoors and ask, “Which group do they belong to?”
- Discuss their features—Does it have feathers? Does it lay eggs?
