Tennessee Wildlife


A couple of weeks ago, our first graders began their unit on animals. Doug Markum, the gentleman in the picture, is from the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency (TWRA) and brought Tennessee animal pelts, teeth, bones, and more to show as he talked about wildlife in our fine state.
Following his visit, the students selected a Tennessee animal to research. They modeled their chosen animals out of clay and built a 3-D habitat to house each of them. I'll try to get pictures of the finished products - pretty impressive, I must say!
