WPS 2nd Grade Habitat Fair
Berlin, MD – On Thursday, March 26, Worcester Prep’s 2nd-grade students hosted a Habitat Fair for fellow lower school students, staff, and families. Attendees learned about the various places where animals make their homes, from the rainforest to the Arctic and all the habitats in between.
In class, the students explored different types of land and water habitats, the animals that inhabit each one, the adaptations they make, and the food chain. They also examined the various types of plants, landforms, and threats present in each habitat. After their lessons, it was the students' turn to teach by spending a month researching and writing about their selected habitat. They chose an animal from that habitat, and with the assistance of the lower school art teacher, Mrs. Roman, they each created a model of the animal in art class. The project also transitioned to computer class, where Mrs. Lyons guided them in compiling their research into a digital presentation.
In the end, students learned how each habitat can be conserved and ways they can contribute.
