Nike 3rd graders recently became taxonomists during a CKLA unit about Animal Classifications! These Scouts got to choose an animal and become experts by writing up their field research. They learned about the animal’s habitat, whether the animal is warm or cold-blooded, and if it is considered a vertebrate or invertebrate. Many fun and interesting facts were discovered as well. Students were very excited for their work to be displayed in the hallways and shared with parents, other students, and staff! #GrowingTogether
