Earth Day was celebrated at St. Patrick's School by Mrs.Glatman’s speech class by planting a dogwood tree. The students purchased the tree through money they raised by collecting bottles and cans, and parent donations.
This past winter the fourth grade “chilled out” in the arctic. They graphed the high temperatures for two weeks in February and compared them with the high temperature from 5 and 10 years prior. They found that we were actually colder in 2008! In conjunction with computer classes, the students researched an arctic animal in order to see what physical and behavioral adaptations they had to help them live in the arctic climate. They also researched how global warming is affecting the animals of the arctic. The research culminated with this wonderful mural depicting many of the animals they enjoyed researching.
