Australian Animal Research Projects



The children have once again amazed and impressed me with their home learning projects! After watching 20 student presentations this week, we learned about 20 unique and interesting animals that are found only Australia! The children have become experts on animals that we knew very little about before- some animals we didn't know even existed!  These animals included: the kangaroo, emu, cassowary, blue-tongued skink, quokka, rainbow lorikeet, lyrebird, salt and freshwater crocodiles, wombat, dingo, tasmanian devil, platypus, kookaburra, the frilled lizard, thorny devil, koala, wallaby sugar glider, and the echidna! We saw shoebox dioramas, posters, clay models, and even power point presentations full of fascinating facts! It's so much fun to see what a 2nd grader can do! Way to go, class!!

Here are some pictures of our projects!
