Inquiry

Animal Life Cycles
This week we are continuing our study of animal life cycles by comparing vertebrates to invertebrates. Students have been reading articles, making annotations and Venn Diagrams. 

Near the end of next week, our Grade 3's will also be receiving a special delivery of caterpillars, which we will observe go through their life-cycle and then set free when their metamorphosis is complete.
