Through games, activities, and crafts, the children will gain understanding about the amazing world of animals! Each day we will uncover facts & create projects to learn about each animal group, covering:
1. Mammals
2. Birds
3. Reptiles
4. Amphibians
5. Fish
We'll read, research, and play to find out what makes them different from other animal groups. We'll learn what animals need to survive and how those essentials are found in each habitat. As we study areas from oceans to jungles, kids will become excited about the world we live in and how it supports animal life! We'll make human size spider webs as we learn about invertebrates! During our section on birds, we'll study nests, eggs, types of feathers, and make homemade bird feeders. Considering the huge selection of mammals to cover, I plan to get the children's input on what some of their favorites are--we'll learn how mammals are classified and then focus on some of our group's favorites!
Throughout the week we will be working on fact sheets, classification games, animal matching, and projects. Our studies will be supplemented with wonderful educational materials from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Working with the weather, we will go on short nature hikes to hunt for signs of animal life (tracks, nests, food and water sources). A fun part of this week is the study of Carnivores, Herbivores, and Omnivores. We will even have a special visit to the Little Rock Animal Village on Friday! You'll get to learn first hand about animal rescue, give treats to some of them, and even have some petting and playtime!
Photos of this week's fun will be posted through a secure link online for parents to download & save as they'd like. They will be available the weekend after camp ends.
