Social Studies: We are learning about how economic choices are made.
Science: In this lesson, students explore the idea that the rock under our feet sometimes contains fossils, and investigate how these fossils reveal changes in habitat through time. In the activity, Fossil Dig, students use paper to create a model fossil dig. They identify traits of fossils to determine what the habitat looked like when these organisms were alive. Then they use this information to figure out where some Mystery Fossils belong in their fossil dig. Vocabulary words are habitat, desert, forest, grassland, ocean, and polar.
Religion: We are focusing on the birth of Jesus.
