At LVA, our 3rd graders recently embarked on an exciting journey through the “Circle of Life” unit of inquiry. As part of their studies, they delved into the fascinating world of animal classifications and basic needs, selecting an animal to research in depth.
Each student wrote a detailed report on their chosen animal, exploring its habitat, diet, adaptations, and role in the ecosystem. But the learning didn’t stop there! To bring their research to life, students also designed and crafted a 3D habitat model, complete with a hand-made sculpture of their animal, showcasing their understanding in a creative and visual way.
The highlight of the project was a special event where parents were invited to LVA to see their child’s hard work on display. Students confidently presented their research, explaining their findings and answering questions from curious parents. This interactive experience not only reinforced their knowledge but also allowed them to practice public speaking and share their enthusiasm for wildlife and conservation.
Through this engaging project, our young learners discovered the importance of each species in the circle of life, gaining a deeper appreciation for the natural world. We are so proud of their dedication, creativity, and hard work! Again, thank you, parents, for stopping by! We appreciate your support in celebrating their hard work!
