In the Classroom
We have been so busy here in room 215! The most exciting thing we did this week was make our ecosystems. Thank you to everyone who donated 2 liter bottles. On Monday, students had the opportunity to build an ecosystem that contains a water level and a soil level. We have a fish, a water snail, and a water plant in the bottom level and worms and grass seed in the top level. Because of the design of the ecosystem, these creatures and plants should be able to survive in this habitat. We have been observing them daily and journaling about our noticings. At the end of next week, we will have a drawing to see who will get to take their groups' ecosystem home. If you do not want your student to participate, please let me know. They are self-sufficient ecosystems, so no action is necessary unless the creatures can no longer survive. Then you would have to properly dispose of the ecosystem. Below are some pictures!
