Biomes are ecosystems that make up the land.
The students have cut pictures of animals from a variety of magazines to represent their biome. They have also researched the different regions to discover the climate, soil, elevation, location, and plants of their biomes. The students enjoyed this activity and have become knowledgeable. Parents, ask your student to explain the biome within our region. The fifth grade classes are all reading different novels.
