SO, I hope that you found this website useful and that it can be a quick and simple, yet educational, project you might use in your classroom - regardless of the ages of your students! I intended to use this idea in my 2nd grade classroom with the idea of #2, but we "ran out of time." - long story. Of course, there are MANY other ways that you could use this simple, fun creation, but these are just a few ideas that I have come up with on my own. Therefore, this would be a great activity to go along with the subject of Language Arts. This would be a great idea to use when discussing morals of stories or the character of a person. I could also discuss how I overheard something that I wasn't supposed to, so I did something sneaky (kind of like Anansi in the Moss Covered Rock). For example, since I have fox ears on my character, I could do a story about how I hear everything that happens in the animal world. This would obviously go with the subjects of Science and Language Arts.Ģ) Using the picture, have your students write a story from the point of view of their character. It could be an animal included in their picture or an animal outside of the picture. I suggest printing these out and holding onto them for the two ideas I'm going to give you below!ġ) With the knowledge of adaptations, you could have your students do a project using adaptations of a specific animal. once you click on the "PRiNT your WiLD self" button on the bottom left hand side, you will see a big picture of what you created and then each adaptation is spelled out below that. I loved this as an introduction, so I was upset when I couldn't use it.Īnyways. What kind of adaptations do polar bears have to help them survive in the arctic? What about flies, what kind of adaptations help them survive? And so on. This is a great project to lead into discussing various adaptations that animals have all over the world. Therefore, this is an ADAPTATION lesson!!! How cool is that? And you thought it was just going to be a silly, fun activity. Well, in that little box, it tells me what the Ibex horns do for me. This is where the true science comes into play.Įach body part that you've chosen is listed in that scroll down menu. Do you see where it says, "What's WiLD about you?" This is my favorite part of the entire website. Beyond that though, this screen brings out some amazing science information.
my kids LOVED telling each other what their new name was. and I'll show you why!Īt the top on the left hand side, you see my name is "Sara, the Ibex-fen-mon-cra-bat." Try saying that 3 times fast. This site tries to make sure you cannot just build a single animal. I had to point this out to my students, so they started trying to find all the same body parts for the animal, but realized they couldn't. You can see this by where my arrow is over top of the arms in the choice window. For example, in the picture below, I chose to put spider crab claws on my person. The cool thing when choosing your body parts and clothing is when you put your mouse over a certain object, it tells you what kind of animal that is from. Make sure your students know this or else you are gonna have a few upset students! Therefore, you cannot always have the shorts and bottom you want and might have to pick between the two. But, I'm warning you now: you may have some students that become upset when using this site. When you sometimes choose a piece of clothing such as shorts, it may get replaced by a bottom that you have chosen. You choose from your hair, eyes, ears, face, arms, bottoms, and tails. My second product I created is a Fraction & Decimal Matching Game. I chose the coral damask since it's my favorite color, but I do have many other backgrounds that I can make - if you want one on request, let me know! I'll see what I can do :) This is so that way you don't ave to rewire names 9723948 times and can just assign your students a "number." I'm not trying to say that your students are just numbers. I chose to create this for my own pleasure, but wanted to share it with you all! I left the calendars undated - why? Well, so you could use this planner year after year without having to change the dates on the form - you just write the dates in yourself! I also chose to create some of the forms with numbers.
