Our friends at the Royal Botanical Gardens have invited us to take part in the mini marsh program. This allows our class to build and maintain a mini marsh in our class. Everyday the class will feed the snail, water the plants and document the changes. At the end of May we will be taking a class trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens to return to the marsh and take a tour around the building. This will conclude our unit of ecosystems.
