In Grade 2 we learn about small flying and crawling creatures. This includes insects, spiders and worms. We learn about their basic needs like habitat and diet. We also learn where they fit in the food chain and if they are helpful or harmful to people
This unit culminates with each student researching a creature and sharing their learning through technology. For more resources go to BGRS Engaging Students. |
