The Lower Elementary level is exploring the earth's biomes, and last week room 290 went on a "Biome Hunt." What is a biome? A general term could be "habitat," and we have learned that there are many different biomes in the world. We decided to explore ours. We walked to Fresh Pond and looked around for signs of the different aspects of our biome: animals (fauna), plant life (flora), soil, moisture, energy, atmosphere. The students took notes, discussed their findings, and learned a lot!
