We are going to join reading and writing to study, learn, take notes and do much more; about Walruses. We kicked off the unit reading a short, early reader level text about Walruses. We watched a short National Geographic Kids video that showed us what they look like in action, a baby and how they use their tusks to get up on the ice. From our reading, we learned that Walruses are very communicative animals and are noisy! They grunt, yell and whistle. So I showed them a funny clip of just the sounds that Walruses make, we got a kick out of that. We filled in a graph of what Walruses are, can and have. They did a great job giving information and facts they learned from the texts. Plus it doesn't hurt that Walruses have mustaches :) We will continue to work on this and diagram and label the parts of a walrus, as well as take sticky notes like our previous learning. Then guided (this whole unit will be guided), we will use our sticky note facts to write sentences with pictures of the animal. We have some fun graphing to do at the end too. This should take us a few weeks, so get ready to learn some facts about this unique arctic animal!
