GR.1 Rm 8	Animal Projects/Inquiry in Science	1:15 to 1:45	Grade 1s will be using knowledge from science class drawing on Characteristics of living things to help organize their research information to create their own self-published non-fiction texts after completing a reflective and peer editing process that allows students to use social and communication skills.
Gr. 1/2 Rm 2	Animal Projects	1:15 to 1:45	Students will be working on the same subject matter of researching animals that students have chosen to report on reflecting knowledge they have learned from science classes about the characteristics of living things.  Ms. Brown's class will be using I-pad technology to produce a digital version of their written reports.
Gr. 2 Rm 11	Hybrid Habitats/ Inquiry and Art  in Science	2:00 to 3:00	Students will present habitats designed to meet the needs of hybrid creatures. These creatures incorporate the characteristics that will allow them to adapt to different biomes.
