3rd Graders Study Crayfish, Make a Friend

Ms. Mishler’s 3rd grade just completed a unit of study on crayfish. This unit required students to analyze and describe the structures and functions of crayfish, as well as observe their behaviors and lifestyles. Using this knowledge students worked in teams to research crayfish by reading numerous passages, answer questions about the passages, label diagrams, and sort pictures. They had Crayfish join their classroom for the project and they became class pets as they gave students an up close and personal experience with these creatures!
