Building a home for an outdoor friend

What is our theme:  Building a home for an outdoor friend 

MA Guidelines/Standards:
PreK-ESS2-1 (MA). Raise questions and engage in discussions about how different types of local environments (including water) provide homes for different kinds of living things.
K-LS1-1. Observe and communicate that animals (including humans) and plants need food, water, and air to survive. Animals get food from plants or other animals. Plants make their own food and need light to live and grow.



Materials
sticks
pine needles 
acorns 
pine cones 
leaves 
Bucket

Activity (Procedure):
Build a home for an animal that lives outside 
1. Collect any natural things use you find 
2. Build the home any way you would like
   
Activity Wrap up:
Ask your child, what kind of animals live outside? Where outside do they live? What kind of food do they eat? What do they drink?  Is it safe, if we see these animals outside, do we go up to them to pet or play with?etc.

How do I know what my child is learning? 
(Assessment)
Is your child able to tell you, what kind of animals live outside? Are they able to build a house for an animal outside?


How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
They can build multiple homes.

Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)
Sometimes it’s easier to build under a bench, picnic table or even a chair. Just in case if it rains, it will not destroy what you made.
