Over the past five weeks, our 1st graders have been very busy creating and describing their invented animals as part of a library project that coincides with their classroom science unit on animal adaptations. After drawing various animal adaptations from a bucket for an animal's covering (fur or feather), feet (webbed or talons) and mouth (beak or sharp teeth) during our first week, students used these adaptations to determine an actual (real life) animal that shared that adaptation. Based on their three actual animal, students then had to create a new (make believe) animal that featured the adaptations they had selected. These selected adaptations can be seen in the illustrations students created to match their informational writing component for our projects. Be sure to follow the 1st grade project link below to view your student's adaptation project!
