Harrington Big Backyard Program

Grade 1

Animals and What They Need to Survive

First grade walks are based on animals and their habitats. Students learn what animals need to live: food, water, warmth, air and shelter. They explore how different habitats meet the needs or organisms throughout the year and observe birds and other common animals.

Please note: All adults who work with children in the Big Backyard program must have a valid CORI. Please click here to fill out a CORI form. CORI checks are good for 3 years. Check with your school office if you have additional questions.
