The Friends have been sharing interesting things about animals, habitats, and Africa. It's great to see them learning from each other.  Last week they researched an animal of choice with a partner, and this week will share what they learned with the class. The students will write three things or facts they learned about Africa, and then we'll finish up the continent.

Next we'll focus more on vertebrates and the five groups of animals: birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, and their characteristics.

Homework is to create a riddle of an animal that they have learned about either on the savanna, or in the rainforest.
