Last week was an extra special day for Sam's 4th Grade Class. Each student had to pick an animal to research, write a report on, and make a paper mache model of. Sam picked the Red Tailed Hawk. I included some photos of Sam with his Hawk. I must say he deserved the "A" he got (Mom does too!) on this whole project. I also included a few of Sam's buddies with their animals. We wanted you to get a mini-zoo tour. Collin has a Box Turtle, Isabel the Peacock (she is also Summer's reading buddy...they get together weekly in school & Isabel reads to Sum), Mason the Deer, and Damon did the Scorpion.
The kids all did a super job with their animals and the pride sure did show on their faces. I applaud the teachers; this was a neat (although time-consuming) assignment that got the kids excited. They not only learned facts about their animals, their habitats, but also had to find a Bible verse that spoke of their animal (if possible) and write about it's place in God's creation. The only verse we could find about a Hawk or Bird of Prey was Isaiah 46:11 "From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do."
We hope you enjoyed the Zoo photos. Team Utzig thanks you for checking in!
