STUDENT CHECKLIST

_____    Show the location of your habitat in Georgia (You can use a map or a description. For example: The mountain region is  located in  northern Georgia. The Blue Ridge  are part of the Appalachian Mountain Range.)



_____ Include a description of your habitat’s unique features. (For example: rolling hills, many rivers, diverse ecosystem.)

___   Include special plants that live in your habitat and the features of the habitat that allow the plants to live there.




_____  Include an explanation of what will or could happen if the habitat is changed.  (For example: If we continue to chop down trees… we continue to pollute the water….)




Also here's a reminder from Ms. Gill!

Hello, 3rd grade families!

In the next few weeks, we will be starting an exciting new project inspired by the photographs of Cuban American artist Abelardo Morell. In preparation for this project, I am requesting that your students do the following:

1) With a digital camera or phone, take a picture of a place that they see every day (this can be their bedroom, a neighborhood park, a classroom at GLOBE, etc.)
2) Print out this picture on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of copy paper (the picture should take up the whole page)
3) Bring the picture to next week's class.

Weekly art schedule:
Monday – Shunnarah
Wednesday – Soons
Thursday – Morgan
Friday - Price

*If you do not have access to a printer, please email me the jpeg file at least 24 hours before your child's class, and I will be happy to print it out at school. Please include the following as the subject line of the email: 3rd Grade Project – Student Name – Teacher Name

*If you do not have access to a digital camera or smart phone that can take pictures, please send me an email, and I will have a photograph ready for your student.

Thank you in advance for your help, and please check out my blog this weekend for more information on this project!

Best,
Stephanie Gill
