Arctic Animals: Orca (Killer) Whales

This versatile project can be used during a few different themes, such as Thanksgiving (when teachers are looking to branch out from the traditional Native American lesson plans and into more creative territory), arctic animals, or learning about different cultures around the world. My class did this project when we were learning about the seasons, as orcas migrate along the Pacific coastline during the fall and spring. In this way, I taught my students that some animals migrate during fall and spring.
