Tomorrow, students will be assessed on the knowledge they have acquired during the past few weeks on herps (reptiles and amphibians). We spent some time reviewing in class today, but it would be great if you could help your son or daughter study at home tonight as well! It has been great to see so much interest in these animals in our classroom...we may have a few future herpatologists in 2nd grade!
Students will need to know the following information:
Differences and similarities of reptiles and amphibians. They will need to know how both types of animals breathe and move, as well as where they live, where they lay their eggs, and what they eat. Students should be able to sort animals into like groups, as well as describe the differences in their skin, appearance, etc. Please see the links to the side titled "reptile information" and "amphibian information" for ideas.
The life cycle of a frog (please see the link to the side).
Similarities and differences of crocodiles and alligators (please see the crocodile/alligator link to the side).
Students should also be able to tell additional information of their choice that they have learned in written form...some ideas would be the differences between frogs and toads, information about a specific reptile or amphibian, or habitat information.
Please see the e-mail I sent out this afternoon for reminders about our zoo field trip and upcoming math unit. Have a great week!
