Meet Curly, the Curlyhair tarantula! This cool creature is one of Terra Nova's Animal Care Club members! Clubs are an integral part of student learning at Terra Nova. Learning through interest-based projects can encourage students to dive deeper into various topics to enhance their education. We are thankful that we can offer these opportunities for students to not only lead a club but also participate in them during the school day. Drew hosted our first Animal Care Club this week. Through this club, students will learn about various animals, their needs, conservation, care and so much more. Check back to meet more of our Terra Nova critters. #handsonlearning #tarantulasarecool #animalcareclub #terranovamn
