Animal Report and Diorama Project

Animal Report and Diorama Project

 

 

   Our animal report and diorama project is being sent home today!. This is a fun assignment that students are very proud to bring to school and show off!  Students will present their animal reports to the class and use the diorama to show their animal in it's habitat. 

 

   The assignment is due Friday, May 29, 2015.  Please check your child's OWL folder and read through the information today.  This is a mandatory assignment.  If you need a shoe box and/or construction paper to complete the diorama, please contact me ASAP so that I can send them home before the weekend!

 

   Below are some examples of animal dioramas:
