Environment Projects

Time to start collecting information, pictures, and items

First, we are still in need of at least 5 parents to help with painting boxes on Wednesday April 15th from 9:00 to 12:00. Please call or email me if you can help.

Students also need to be collecting things from home for their 3D environments. They can begin collecting information from books or websites on: climate, water sources, human effects, living and nonliving factors, consumers, decomposers, producers, and micro and macro organisms in their environment.

Here is a list of other items students can bring in to use in their 3D model:
-Books
-Pictures -
Magazines with pictures to cut out
-Photos
-Calendar page pictures
-Stuffed animals that would be in their environment
-Fabrics or craft supplies to make things for their environment
-Notes from the Internet about their environment
-Anything that they think might be helpful in their environment display
