Grade 1 students have created dioramas to explore different habitats. Student then explained their habitat with a piece of writing.

HARTLEY, SONIC, ELIJAH
Our habitat is a rainforest. There is lots of rain in the rainforest. There are a lot of trees in the rainforest. The rainforest is full of animals. Bugs also live in the rainforest. Birds can live in the rainforest because they have sharp claws to land on branches.  

DOMINIC, LATAYAH, DAWSON
Our habitat is the ocean. We made a shark, a clown fish, a crab and a squid. We put seaweed in our habitat. We put coral and rocks in the habitat too. We made the sunlight zone. The jellyfish has to live in the ocean because they don’t have lungs. We made a turtle. The turtle can live in the ocean because they can swim. They have flippers to help them swim. They have a shell to hide and protect themselves. We gave the habitat a blue and yellow background.

ADDISYN, OLIVIA, EVAN
We made a rainforest habitat. There are lots of trees in the rainforest and bushes. There are lots of vines in the rainforest. It rains a lot there. Sloths can live in the rainforest because they can swing from branch to branch.

IVANNA, ADAM, HARRISON
In the North Pole there are lots of polar bears. Arctic foxes and hares also live in the North Pole. There is a lot of snow. Polar bears keep warm because they have two layers of thick fur. Artic foxes have white fur to blend in so they stay safe from predators. Arctic hares have brown fur in summertime, and it changes to white in winter.

ZOEY, MORGAN, CHACE
We made a bush habitat. In it there is a wombat, platypus, and owl. We added trees, we painted the background green. An owl is nocturnal and hunt at night. This makes them safer from predators. Wombats have special pouches that face backwards so that dirt does not get in their pouch.

NOAH B, AVALILY, SIYUN
We made a desert habitat. In a desert habitat there are snakes and spiders. In the desert birds can live in trees. In the desert there are lizards who can eat small ads. Camels have hard feet to help them walk on the soft sand. spiders have fangs to put poison into other animals and eat them.

MAE, LUCY, JORDYN
We made an ocean habitat. Our habitat is in the sunlight zone. Animals that live in this ocean habitat are sharks, jellyfish, fish, dolphins, crabs and lots of other animals, Lots of animals that live in the ocean can breathe underwater but dolphins have to go to the surface to take a big breath of air before they go down underwater again. Some jellyfish can move themselves in the water, but some just float along. Crabs can pinch predators that try to catch them.

ALICE, SUFYAN, ATLAS
We made an ocean habitat. Jellyfish live in the ocean. They do not have a brain. Sharks live in the ocean and are called the kings of the sea because they eat other fish. Fish have scales on their body and gills to help them breathe under the water.

LENNY, AYRA, OWAISE
In the ocean there are starfish. Coral reefs are found in the sunlight zone. A shark is swimming near the coral reef. There are rocks and seaweed in the ocean. There is sand on the bottom of the sunlight zone. Coral covers the sand and is a good hiding spot for fish.

OSCAR, KENEISHA, KENZIE
We have made a rainforest habitat. Birds can live in the rainforest because their prey lives there. Birds can catch their prey in the air. Snakes don’t have to go down to the ground to get food in the rainforest.

ALISHA, LUKA, OLIVER
We made the North Pole there is lots of snow. There are snowballs falling. Animals that live he have thick fur to keep them warm. Some animals have a layer of blubber under their skin to help people. Some of the animals have white fur to camouflage them in the snow and cake keep them safe from predators also let them be a predator.
