My Project

We love to learn about Ecosystems in 5th grade. Last year it was very successful, and the kids really enjoyed making them. We use boxes, paint, trees and animals of the student's choice to make their ecosystems.

We use boxes, shoeboxes and paint to use on a variety of Ecosystems.

Artic, desert, rainforest, woodland are just a few. After studying different ecosystems.

Students get to choose their Ecosystem and animals to decorate their box.

After, they are complete we line them up in the hall and let other students in other grades come to our building to check them out.
