 * //__Essential Question:__//** //How does an animal's structure and environment work together?//

Each class is assigned one of the animal classes; mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and insects. Each room will work with their animal on the essential question. We //were// going to do projects based on their environment, instead of doing environment, we chose to do activities from these four subject matters; Language Arts, Math, Science and Art. So, on the night when we present our discoveries, you will find products in each room that have been created to help answer the essential question, How does an animal's structure and environment work together?

A little Background, we have just finished the Social Studies unit on regions and environments.

Here are some examples you may see the night of the Showcase all on their corresponding animals:
