Another winter animal art project that artists from H203 created.  We also practiced recycling by using items usually thrown away.  
We had fun incorporating a song about habitats and expanding the various habitats learned through our Wonders unit and science standards.

Your child was busy learning about life science, focusing on animals.  We learned about habitats, incorporating art and singing.
