I was first introduced to the idea of creating Animal Dioramas when my son (who was a first grader at the time), brought home a shoebox and a basic instruction sheet from his teacher to create a diorama of any animal and its natural habitat. Being a mom, I was so excited about the opportunity to help my son create something he was so excited about! Being a teacher, I knew that I had to do a project like this with my own students, but I had no idea where to start. I shared the idea with my…

It's that time of year again! Open House season is here and we are busily working on projects to share with our parents on our big night. One of the big projects my students will be working on is their Animal Diorama and Research Report. This was something I did for the first time last year, and it was a HIT!

I have been so proud of the 2nd grade for their hard work over the last several weeks! I thought I would share some of the great work they have produced. First, the students picked an animal that they wanted to research. We then used a class set of Ipads to do our week-long research. I used the following paper found on TPT: I had them research 5 different topics for their animal: habitat, body, diet, life cycle, and a fun fact. After the week of research, we began our animal pyramid. We…
