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.

Description

The program, Living and Loving the Life of a Beaver, is a story and activity guide about a beaver community; a community which is explored through the adventures of two children named Jennifer and Tyler. The children's class go on a field study to visit a beaver pond. On the way, the two children get side-tracked and they meet a beaver named Jedediah. Jedediah shrinks them down in size and takes them back in time to a beaver community where they learn about the life of a beaver. Two introductory activities provide a “warm-up” for the story. In addition, each chapter of the story is followed by one or more activities which reinforce the concepts learned in the story.
