Description
We will dispel Myths with Facts, while traveling through 5 different continents, in search of 8 special boas and pythons, within a sports-related theme. Students are active spectators sorting through the similarities and differences of these fantastic slithering creatures! Choose your team Boa or Python in this spectacular Tournament of Cold-Blooded Champions. Children learn best when they are intrigued, challenged, involved, and entertained. Emphasis is placed on Reading Literacy as students learn the Geography, Scientific Terminology, and Natural History of each animal. As a special bonus, everyone receives a WILD give-a-way surprise, and they each have the opportunity to touch and interact with the last animal presented! *** Animal ambassadors also help promote other school themes. Ask about Bullying Prevention, Personal Choices, and Cultural Differences!
Students Will
Explore countries and continents that the animals inhabit
Be engaged through vocabulary, word meaning, and reading for understanding
Develop oral language through listening, speaking and discussion
Obtain and process the scientific terminology and characteristics of each animal
Use counting, measuring, and size comparisons of each animal to solve everyday math problems
Observe and understand the similarities and differences between boas and pythons based upon physical traits and characteristics, location distribution in the world, methods of birth, and size/weight comparisons of each group member presented
