This term the students have followed our classroom character Dex as he travelled the world and found different animals that needed our help.  This month, Dex travelled back home to Canada to examine which animals need our help here.  On this mission, Dex gave the students a list of animals from across Canada.  The students completed independent research projects on 18 different animals and explored where they lived, what the animals needed to survive and whether or not they needed our help.  The students also created a map of Canada where they could arrange their animal accordingly.  This week Dex left us a map and told us that the animal we would be researching as a class could be found in this area.  The map was of High Park and so we took a walking excursion to the High Park zoo to see if any of the animals there were on our master list.  At High Park we found two animals on our list: the monarch butterfly and bison.  When Dex told us that the animal had 6 legs, 3 bodies parts and could fly we infered that the butterfly was the animal we needed to help!
