Description

Welcome to My Home is a field study focusing on the concept of basic needs. The program helps students discover how animals meet their needs within the environment. For the field study, beavers have been chosen as the animal to investigate. A Student Booklet has been provided to guide students in a variety of on-site activities investigating the beaver’s basic needs. A Volunteer Booklet has also been provided to assist volunteers in directing the students' activities. With little preparation, volunteers will be able to assist the students and teacher in conducting the activities. The activities are designed to stimulate interest and encourage experiential learning through observation, comparison, contrast, and identification tasks. The program focuses on Grade One students but can also be used at other grade levels.
