Potanimals Showcase!

Posted Date: 01/30/26 (03:31 PM)


Mrs. Kerr and Ms. Gentile’s 3rd-grade classes recently hosted an incredible Potanimal Day! Each student chose an endangered animal to research, wrote full essays, created slideshows, and habitat dioramas. Students were then given a potato to turn into their researched animal. They truly went above and beyond with their projects.

The Project Highlights:

  • Research: Students mastered their topics, wrote thorough research essays and created informative Google Slideshows.

  • Creativity: Every student built a detailed diorama and a "Potanimal" (an animal uniquely crafted out of a potato!).

  • Showcase: Families joined us to see these ingenious creations firsthand.

We are so proud of our 3rd graders for their hard work and dedication to learning about wildlife conservation!
