Monarch Park Collegiate

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in a study that explores various types of insects and their DNA. As of today, we walked around the school looking for an appropriate location to set up our trap. We walked around the school grounds in search of a place that would be private, undisturbed and that would allow the maximum amount of insects to come to be collected. There were various locations that would fit under our qualifications, but we thought that in the end our library’s courtyard would be the best choice.

My Students are Really Excited!

I teach grade 5 in Saskatchewan and below you will find how I am integrating this project with our curriculum. My students will be blogging each day, among other forms of communication to share our experience.  Today we talked about the various student roles in our scenario. Students chose their role today and we will begin the adventure tomorrow!
