Discuss what they look like and what they are doing.
To use binoculars, first spot an animal or object with your eyes. Without
taking your eyes off the object, lift the binoculars to your eyes to peer
through. Were you able to keep your eyes on the object?
My Favorite Animal: Help your child draw or paste a picture of
his or her favorite animal in a Nature Notebook. Talk about how the
animal gets its food, water and shelter. Is it wild or domesticated?
Why is the animal your child’s favorite? Would it make a good pet?
Mi Animal Favorito: Ayude a su hijo o hija a dibujar o pegar una
foto de su animal favorito en su Cuaderno Ambiental. Conversen
sobre como el animal consigue comida, agua y refugio. ¿Es un
animal salvaje o domesticado? ¿Porqué es su animal favorito?
¿Sería una buena mascota?
Pets and Wild Animals: If you have a pet, or know someone
who does, help your child take care of the pet (providing food,
water, grooming, etc.). Help your child draw a picture of the pet
being cared for by people. Then help your child draw a wild animal
getting the food it needs in the wild.
Mascotas y Animales Silvestres: Si usted tiene una mascota o
conoce quien tenga una mascota, ayude a su hijo o hija a cuidar
de la mascota (proveyéndole alimento, agua y aseo). Ayude a su
hijo o hija a hacer un dibujo de la mascota siendo atendida por
una persona. Entonces ayude a su hijo o hija a hacer un dibujo de
un animal silvestre conseguir comida.
