Dear Parents,
As you know we have been studying Animals and
their habitats. Your students will be making an animal
habitat using recycled milk cartons in school. Please
talk with your child about their animal habitat from
the attached list to brainstorm ideas. Assist your
student in sketching their habitat and return the paper
to school. As part of the planning process.
Earth’s SystemsCompare multiple solutions designed
to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.

Your turn….
★ Use the supplies on your tables to go through the design process using milk cartons. Get creative.
★ Select a grade with your group★ Be sure to map your design plan out
as you would if you were teaching the design process to the class for the first time.
Now What...
◎ Sharing◎ What will you do first in
September?◎ Next Steps...
Just a little imagination and a few milk cartons and
you can teach almost anything in the world. (low cost)
