Nehemiah grouped all the animals together.A scientist already ;) the Kingdom ~Animalia 
Then Job sorted the toy animals into 3 group.I did not guide them but let the group the animals in to what they thought the groups should be.Job grouped them in mammals, insects, & sea animals.Angelo divided them further to separate flying insects from crawling insects etc.
We then worked on our lapbooks.It really makes a difference and adds to study when you use living books to teach with lots of pictures and well organized information.So with both the Hands of a Child & the Homeschool Share free animal classification lapbooks the What is an Animal Kingdom Book was a great complement.
Job & Angelo's completed lapbook dividing animals into vertebrates & invertebrates,I also printed out their pictures of their hands on animal classification project to the lapbook.
Here is Angelina & Daniels lapbook covers.They did the Hands of a Child Animal Classification lapbook.It was a great study and well worth my time.
We used Dover stickers to decorate the lapbooks & graphics.They also colored & drew some of their own pictures.I printed out all the mini-booklets on white paper this time instead of colored. I think I like the colored paper more but certain graphic is nice to color so I may print those type of mini-books on white paper.

The older students finished up their Biology assignments.
