EVERY year we study an unfamiliar habitat... in other words we don't study the rain forest.
We really explore our habitat ...
This year we chose Australia.
We studied the geography, people, art, and ANIMALS!!!!
The students are given ONE last project.
They are to pick an animal from Australia and create a life size representation.
Their animal is then placed on our Australia Wall.
Here are a few examples of the FABULOUS animals that we got this year!!!
