Companion Animals Projects

     Mari Beth Moore's companion animal's class is currently working on their small animal projects. Each group of students has selected a different animal to make a presentation about. The students have to create a model of their animal, as well as a presentation to share with the class.
     "One of the best projects was created by Kyla Parish and Danielle Johnson," said Ms. Moore. The girls drew a large poster of a tortoise for their model and it was neatly done and easy to read.
     Brooklyn Stack, Aubree Noble, and Emily Blaylock are doing their presentation on chinchillas. They used colorful note cards and popsicle sticks on their presentation to make it unique. "I learned more than I originally had known about the animal, and thought it was fun to research them," said Brooklyn.
     Hunter Hawk, Travis Fankhauser, and Miakayla Koerber are doing their project on guinea pigs. They created a cage out of a shoe box, and drew their model."I learned guinea pigs are great pets and work really well for small families. They originated in South America and come in many different colors," said Hunter Hawk.
     Cody Madsen, Beau Jersild, and Drew Jersild chose a tortoise for their project. "I learned that it is important to plan what you are going to do so you don't wait until the last minute. I also had fun learning about different animals and creating our tortoise model," said Cody.
