Reptiles, Birds, Amphibians and Fish, Oh My!

The children did such an amazing job with their animal projects.  Not only was I impressed by the wealth of facts and things the students each learned about their chosen animal, but to be able to stand up in the church and present to a group of about 40 3-4 year olds has to be a little intimidating and each and every student blew me away.

Here are photos of each student and their posters!  Congratulations on an excellent first science report to everyone!  It was clear they worked hard and were interested in what they researched and learned about!  I learned so much myself!
