Platypus

Our next animal is a little unusual.  It has the bill like a duck, the tail like a beaver, the body like an otter, walks like a reptile, and lays eggs.  What is it you ask?  A Platypus.  Most of my students had heard of a platypus but were thrilled to learn more about these unusual creatures.  We learned what they eat and how they live and how they take care of their young.  Our favorite videos about the platypus we found on YouTube.  We found the platypus song addicting.  The kids kept asking me to play it again, and again, and AGAIN!  I'll be singing it for days! 

Our platypus art this week included making our own platypus with one fact they learned.
