Habitat Project: DUE DATE EXTENDED
It seems that there is a French project due next week, so I decided to extend the habitats project due date to MARCH 21st. The kids just need to choose one of the Georgia Habitats and include information about it according to the checklist. If they make a diorama, then they will need to include some of the information in written form. For example: they can write about how the habitat can change due to an environmental factors or human interaction on a 3x5 card and paste it on the diorama.

Here it is again:
