~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the week of September 3 the students studied different habitats:  desert, ocean, polar regions, woodlands, and tropics. This week I would like for the students to be able to categorized pictures of animals and plants into the habitat in which the plant or animal lives.

Review worksheets in notebook from Week of September 3. Complete any worksheets that were not completed.
