Biomes

This week, students are learning about the earth biomes, or areas on the earth that meet animal's needs based on climate, plants, and environment. Students are learning about the following six main biomes: desert, forest (rainforest, diciduous, coniforous), freshwater (wetlands, rivers, lakes), grasslands, marine (ocean, coral reef), and tundra. Students are investigating why particular animals live in the various biomes.
To extend this learning at home, talk with your child about their favorite animals and try to figure out which biome they live in. We also encourage you to read books about animals and watch videos about animals, such as the Planet Earth series.
