The Everglades Habitat Mat provides students with many dynamic options for exploring a wetlands ecosystem. The wooden animals can be matched to the mat, and labels help children learn the names of the animals and parts of the wetland biome. Grammar and sentence cards can be used to make and symbolize sentences about the plants and animals. Fact file cards provide information about all the organisms and guide the children in working with the food chain chart and energy transfer arrows. Word problems encourage children to apply math and think about its uses in ecology. Storytelling sequence cards invite children to act out the drama of a story set in the Everglades. To make shelf storage easy, the bundle includes boxes for the cards and a lidded wooden box with dividers and a tray where you can store all the parts. (6 to 12 years)
