3^rd Grade staff uses the BELL to study life cycles plants and animals.  A litter of mice or a clutch of zebra finches can either be observed in the lab or the classroom.  The 3^rd grade curriculum also includes review of vertebrate animals, owl pellets, and a written research report of a vertebrate animal found in the BELL.  Check out the BELL special animal of the week icon where you will find reports written by 3^rd and 5^th graders which also appear in our local newspaper, The Blissfield Advance.
