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.

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.
