The class did a project on Canadian animals. They have to find out the appearance, habitat, enemies and habits. They also have to draw pictures to help them explain the animal's lifestyle. Grade five-six reading buddies and Mrs. Meurer helped them find their information. There's lots to celebrate with three birthdays going on.
