We are learning about ecosystems and their role in the environment. We have discussed abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem, and learned about smaller ecosystems including ponds, estuaries, salt marshes, and lakes. We will discuss various biomes including deserts, deciduous forest, rainforest, tundra, taiga, and grassland. I would like students to bring in a poster board to prepare for their biomes poster (done individually or in groups). 5B needs to have their poster on Thursday and 5A on Tuesday March 29th. We will paste plant and animal pictures of each biome on the poster board as well as common locations of the biomes.
In addition, Grade 5 will plant a garden with Grade 6 students to show how producers are part of our ecosystem. I would like Grade 5s to bring in seeds of their choice. We will plant them after evening frosts are through.
