Mrs. Thompson's Third Grade Class

Welcome to our website. We are third grade students from Wesley Heights Elementary in Columbus, GA. We have been very busy trying to create a website just for you. We were studying Georgia habitats and found it very difficult to locate information.  We thought it would be an excellent idea to make a website of information that we were learning and where we found it. 

Overview:
There are a variety of habitats found in Georgia.  A habitat is a place where a plant and animal lives. Each habitat contains a unique combination of plant and animal life in varying conditions of climate, soil. and land resources.  Our class will investigate the following habitats in Georgia: mountains, marsh/swamp, coast, Piedmont, and Atlantic Ocean. 

Georgia Performance Standards:

• S3L1 a. Differentiate between habitats of Georgia (mountains, marsh/swamp,
                      coast, Piedmont, Atlantic Ocean) and the organisms that live there.
  
• S3CS5 d. Locate scientific information in reference books, back issues of 
                      newspapers and magazines, CD-ROMs, and computer databases.

                       information about a topic.
