camkangoo

the third graders just completed their fantasy animal project--the first of I'm sure many big projects to come over the next several years.  L was assigned the desert as her biome.  She had to research facts about the desert, plus research 3 plants and 3 animals and what adaptations they have for her assigned biome.   All this information was then creatively and beautifully arranged on a huge free standing tri fold poster board along with her own fantasy animal and it's adaptations.  She then had to dress up as her animal and participate in a wax museum experience for the whole school, giving oral presentation of her project and answering questions.  and she did amazing!  Her animal, the "camkangoo" was a combination of a camel, kangaroo rat and gopher.  It was creative and cute and very well done.  I learned a lot right along with her and was very proud of her diligence and how much work and time she poured into her project.
