Basic Needs

We had a lot of fun learning about basic needs.  We began our unit by making a chart of needs and wants.  We discussed if certain things were really a need or just a want.  

To incorporate technology, students completed a wants vs. needs activity on Kidspiration.   They really enjoy working on the laptops!

We began talking about how every person has the same basic needs but the way they meet those needs can differ depending on where they live.  We looked at a globe and researched information on people living in warm regions, hot regions, and cold regions.  We added this information to our I Can Notebooks.

Students then created a "Guess Where I Live?" flip book.
