Endangered Rainforest Animals


Sophie Bujold and I, Olivia Letourneau, did a presentation in front of the whole Calliope team. We both studied eight endangered rainforest animals. Here are the names of all of the animals. Agouti, Aye – Aye, Fossa, Gray Mouse Lemur, Tarsier, Kinkajou, Flying Squirrel, and Slender Loris. Most of them have longer tails than their bodies. We showed a video and did clay sculptures of the animals. There are about 25 of each animal left in the world. We are now collecting money for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The box to raise money will either be in the lobby or in the front office of Allen Brook School.

Tuesday

Snail Research



Doug, Claire and Paige did a snail research with Mrs. Poirot. We went to her office every Tuesday for lunch and recess. We also went at 1:45 on Mondays so we could practice our presentation. Then in a little group we presented once more before the real thing. Finally, we presented our research in front of Calliope kiva!!!

Our Space Unit




Our class is doing a space unit. We have a new motto and name. The Astro Team is our name and “If it’s space it’s a race” is our new motto. We are now a space team. We are going to get passports to all of the planets!!! We are also going to decorate our room as a space theme!!! We are going to make comets out of cotton balls and then we are going to attach tinsel at the end to make it look real. We are also going to make planets to make our class room look like the Solar System.
