1	The Fifth Grade Zoo Project
2	About Our Project This Zoo was created entirely by the students of Mrs. Holland’s, Mrs. Johnson’s and Ms. Robbins’s fifth grade class at Harper McCaughan. After learning about the different biomes of the world, each student was given an animal to research. Then the students presented their research. Here is the result.
