Georgia's Diverse Habitats

An amazing variety of plants and animals inhabit the state of Georgia, so every year the unit on habitats becomes an instant favorite. We're exploring Georgia's mountains, Piedmont, marsh and swamp, coast and Atlantic Ocean.

The Encyclopedia of Life is a comprehensive resource for exploring life. Watch the short video above, then click here to learn more.

Explore Georgia's flora and fauna with slideshows from five regions of the state. Click the image above, or right here to get started.

Cold Blooded Visitors!

Fridays usually deliver the unexpected, and last week was no exception.

Jack's dad works for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and he stopped by the classroom during science toting a gopher tortoise and a corn snake.

Milo and his classmates explored living texture, while Mr. Elliott described the longleaf pine ecosystem.

Later in the year we will explore habitats of Georgia, and animal/plant adaptations. Friday's impromptu preview was an exciting end to a long week. Click here to learn more.

Let's Gets Organized!

The "Categories" sidebar on the right is now called "Resources."  While the main idea of "Web Links" was just that - links to a variety of pages on the internet, it was becoming a junk drawer we had to fumble through to find the right page.

Now it's organized by topic, so if you want to revisit some nano origami, or that cello beatbox guy, click Art Links.  If you need some division, or rounding practice before the CRCT, click Math Links.  

If there is something more specific you want to find, like photos of a friend, or blank comic pages, simply type the word in the "Search This Blog" field, and click "Search."

Hopefully these changes will help you find what you need, and if there's anything you would like to see here, send me a message by commenting on this post below.
