After logging into your CLI Engage account, launch the activity by clicking the button. Type the child’s first name and last initial to begin!
Independent practice
At the end of the activity, the child will be asked to choose a habitat and draw an animal in it.
Knowledge check
Have the child show you the animal they drew. Ask them to say what they know about that habitat and why they chose to draw that animal.
TIPS
- After each child’s attempt, print or save their results. This must be done before you exit to avoid loss of results.
