Third graders in Dan Sliwowski’s class at Great Neck Road Elementary School went on a safari adventure during a recent literacy unit on animal adaptations. 
The students have been studying different animals and learning about the adaptations they make to survive. Working collaboratively in small groups, they were assigned four animals to explore: an elephant, a hyena, a giraffe and a lion. The third graders then conducted research on their Chromebooks, using Kiddle, a kid-friendly search engine, to identify an adaptation for each animal and how it helps them survive.
