Living and non-living things in my neighborhood.


Standard 2

Students will understand that organisms depend on living and nonliving things within their environment.



Standard 7

Use telecommunications and on-line resources (e.g., email, online discussions, web environments) to participate in collaborative problem-solving activities to develop solutions or products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (4, 5)


For this STORYBIRD assignment kids in my class will gain awareness of living and non-living things in their neighborhood.  After they are done reading this book, I would invite them to go outside and take a walk around their neighborhood and discuss living and non-living things with a parent or older sibling.
