St. Mary School

As we begin this new school year, 3rd grade is diving into a unit on life cycles. We began our unit by growing different types of plants from seeds and are now observing live mealworms, our “class pets”. As we progress through this unit, students will showcase their understanding of life cycles through a team project. Together, they will decide on an organism and create a 3-D model of that organism’s life cycle. At the end of their design process, each group will present their work to the class. We hope to have our own 3rd grade mini life cycle museum in our classroom!

5th and 6th graders at St. Mary School traveled to Howell Nature Center last month with the intention of experiencing their outdoor nature and conservation programs but were surprised to come back with so much more!
