For our last research project of the year, the 2nd graders each picked a marine animal to study. Students had to select a marine animal that can be found at the
Shedd Aquarium in Chicago because our culminating activity for this unit was a field trip to the Shedd! During our field trip, the children were given one mission - find all 19 marine animals that we researched. More details about our trip in another post.
The kids made dioramas this time around, and I was
beyond amazed at the quality and creativity of the kids' projects! For many of the kids, this project was a family effort and during the presentations there was quite a bit of pride in the fact that mom, dad, and even siblings helped out.
