Mrs. WhitingerMiller Perry Elementary

What would it be like

to take an adventure

to the Antarctic?

Daily Fix-It

it is cold

Daily Fix-It

It is cold.

Classify and Categorize• In the story, there are many animals.

Some live only in the water, some live on the land, and some live in both.

• We can remember information about the animals if we remember the ways they are the same. We can put animals that are alike together. This is called classify and categorize.

Classify and CategorizeIn the book, all the animals live in a cold climate, but not all of the animals can go onto the land. Penguins and seals can go on land and in water. Why would whales not belong in that group?

Antarctica is icy and cold. Antarctica has penguins, whales, and seals, but very few plants. There are few plants because it almost never gets warm enough for them to grow. This is what the selection is all about.

Classify and CategorizeThe animals in If You Could Go to Antarctica all swim, so in that way they are the same. But in other ways they are each different.

What kind of animal are penguins? (birds)
