Lourdes students showed their love of animals on World Animal Day in October 2011.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and other arthropods will be explained in detail. Educators in attendance will also learn about the benefits of plants in the classroom – including a cactus dish and “fairy gardens.”
The cost for attendance is $20 per person. To RSVP or for more information, contact Ms. Malinowski at 419-824-3767 or email mmalinowski@lourdes.edu .
The Lourdes Lib Lab is an interactive plant and animal learning laboratory with room for up to 30 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. Inside the laboratory, students encounter exotic birds, fresh and saltwater fish, frogs, turtles, and butterflies as they learn about the ecosystems in which they live. With a host of other woodland creatures living just outside its windows, Life Lab classes often take to the outdoors to observe the life-cycles of animals in their natural habitat.
