Third grade students in Ms. McGregor’s class at Chamberlayne Elementary have been learning about animal adaptations. After learning about the various ways animals adapt to their environments, Ms. McGregor let the students’ creativity run wild. She gave students a description of a made up environment, not one you would find in nature today! After reading the environment descriptions, students were to sketch a picture of an animal they created to live in this environment while keeping adaptions in mind so that the created animals would survive. After sketches were complete with notes about survival adaptions for each animal students began their digital creations! Using the iPads (thank you to K and 1st grade teachers for letting us borrow them), students were given the choice of using either the pixie or doodle buddy app. They were to draw out their animal and add notes using the text feature.
Designing their creations!
I was so impressed with how well the students were able to recreate their sketches! Awesome job third graders 🙂
An example of a finished project!
Hi thank you
Thank you so much. My daughter Mikaila King was apart of Mrs McGregor class and she had such a good time learning about adaptation.
