Ivey's Class Kept
Busy On Projects
Mrs; Ivey’s homeroom has
been working on two projects—
insects and flowers.
The students have kept an
aquarium and a terrarium. In
the terrarium are living one
frog, three lizards, and three
snakes. The students have
hatched millions of spiders and
put them in the terrarium for the
other insects to eat. The snakes
have now gone into hibernation.
On the flower project, which
was on display for open house,
flowers have been molded out of
clay, while others have been
waxed and mounted. Reports
have been made on many flow
ers—A through Z, Some of the
students have made dish gardens,
while others have made seed
collections, planted bulbs, and
made booklets.
Nearly every student had a
part in one of the projects.
