Cross-curricular Unit: Endangered Species

Spartans students are investigating endangered species as part of a cross-curricular unit. 

In English class, students are writing a research paper that focuses on one endangered animal. 

All Spartans wrote a performance task about the burrowing owl in language arts and currently are reading the novel Hoot to discover how the characters in the book take action to save this endangered animal.

In Science, students are studying the reasons that species become endangered and threatened.  In the upcoming weeks, they will give an informal presentation about their discoveries.

7th Grade In-House Field Trip

Spartans will attend a special presentation by the Pittsburgh Aviary on Friday, May 3, 2013.  This will be a culminating experience for our cross-curricular unit on Endangered Species.
