Grade 1

How the World Works

by Miss Savannah McKinnon

During our unit How the World Works, our Grade 1 students are learning about different habitats and the characteristics within each one. The students are discovering how living things interact with the surrounding environment. The lines of inquiry that are guiding their learning are: the requirement of living things, how living things need each other, and how living things change to survive.

After learning about different types of habitats: tundra, seasonal forest, deserts, etc. the students are able to tangibly show their learning through various art projects that focus on each environment. Each student is able to reflect on the habitat and show how animals and plants interact to survive. They are learning about the importance and beauty of the interconnectedness of the world around them.
