Pond Animal videos

The students in my class gather information through discovery bags, the pond site on my website and videos. I have a small dvd player that they watch the videos on. These different activities (while contrived to be sure)  help my students become independent information gatherers. They love gathering the information and writing about the animals. 
Hope your students will enjoy the videos.

Alligators

Beavers

Ducks

Frogs

Pond Packet Freebie

Our class discovers information about pond animals through discovery bags. This packet contains an emergent level fact sheet and word bank about six different pond animals along with a fact sheet for students to collect their information. I include a stuffed animal or puppet in each bag, word bank and fact sheet along with nonfiction books I have collected (Check your library for books to put in your discovery bags if you don't have a large collection.) The students fill out their animal fact sheet. They  use the collected information to write about the animal of their choice. I also made a short video about each pond animal.  My website Linda's Learning Links has a pond webpage geared to emergent readers. To receive the packet, just follow my blog and leave a comment along with your email address. If you are a follower, please leave a comment and your email address and I'll get the packet to you. I will upload the videos later this week.
