Endangered Animals

Endangered Animals By Student Blogger Annie

Did you know that sea otters have the thickest fur of any animal in the planet? We learned this and many other facts when Change is Simple visited our school Monday, January 14th and taught us about endangered animals.They had us do a lot of fun activities.

The first activity they had us do was compare yourself to an animal. “I am like the chimpanzee because we both…”

 

The second activity we did was put your animal card where you think it lives on a giant world map.

We became scientists and we created a species profile for our animal. We had three questions to answer about the animal we were given. The first question was “what is the name of your animal?” The second question was “what type of animal is it?” For instance is it a mammal, reptile, amphibian, bird or fish. The third question was why is your animal endangered? The choices they gave us were illegal hunting or fishing, pollution, habitat loss or sickness and disease.

The last activity we did was musical chairs but instead of chairs we used food and water resources.

 

Finally Change is Simple issued the fourth grade a challenge to see which class could pick up the most trash at recess.

Thank you Change is Simple we always love when you come to our school!
