Marissa Robeson made a poster on sea turtles. She explained how oil and other pollutants we put in our waters are poisoning, killing, drowning, causing skin loss, etc. for these turtles. She also gave facts about the turtles. We can reduce pollutants and fossil fuels dumped into waters to help save the sea turtles.

Devon Fells pandas bear posted taught me that pandas live until they're 20 and the effort in painting he put into it looks good.

Danielle Dumity did her endangered species project in polar bears. The visual and factual representation of polar bears taught me that they are killed for profit and face hardships in obtaining food. She gave ways to save them as well as fun facts such as they aren't actually white.

Lauren Balogh created a poster on Sea Turtles. I learned that there are only 7 species of sea turtles left in the world, and that they are often killed by nets, and people who use their shells as bowls.

Lexi Sinani did her poster on endangered pandas. It taught me that there aren't many left in the wild and that we need to take control of what is happening now. She also did a very good job with her drawing of the panda and she was very creative with her poster.

Courtney Fisher chose African Penguins as the endangered species she wanted to do her project on. Along with a beautiful painting of a penguin, she also used very interesting facts on her poster as well. Courtney shed light on the rising issue of endangering penguins, such as food shortages and the rising demand for their eggs. Overall, her poster was very fun, informational, and vibrant!

Sydney Martin made a poster on Galápagos Penguins. It looks like she put a lot of effort into it and it looks very nice. From her poster, I learned that the population is less than 2,000 and that fishing can actually be a cause for their population decreasing. It is also interesting that they're the only species found north of the equator and in the Galápagos.

Avery Ortman made a poster on cheetahs and she captured the wild side of cheetahs. The watercolor painting of the cheetah draws your attention in. She gives you information on how much are left. She puts a website to visit to help support them!

Madison Mcnutt did her endangered species project on the Monarch Butterfly. The reason I chose her poster is because it's visually appealing, there are many beautiful colors. also, she put a lot of detail into her butterfly drawing & painting it. she also stated many facts that taught me about the Monarch Butterfly that were very interesting.

Anna mehall's elephant poster taught me that three to five million African elephant populations were reduced due to hunting in the last century. This is a very eye opening statistic. Her poster is very creative and informative.

Madison McMurtry did a beautiful monarch butterfly. Everything was clear and neat, the light colors she used in the background were very appealing. Very well done butterfly.

Sam Darrell's elephant poster taught me that there are only 40,000-50,000 Asian Elephants left in the wild. Her poster is really creative and you can tell she put in a lot of effort.

Tiffany Keller tougher me how long honey bees last for, why they're endangered and some other cool facts that I think people should know. Our world needs honeybees and pesticides are killing them. It's sad but the number is going up so maybe they can come out of the endangered category very soon!

Tiffany Keller had the cutest honey bee and taught that they can't see the color red. The main reason they are endangered is because of pesticides.

Sydney Martin choose the Galapogos Penguin. This is the same animal I choose this is why I really like this poster. This poster has many interesting facts about this animal and a picture of the animal. Ways we can save this animal would be to stop destrying their habitats.

Starr A. made her poster on Sea Lions. She told us general information like where they like, what they eat, and lifespan. The reason that they are endangered is because of man, especially plastics in the ocean.

Starr A. did her poster on the sea lion. I loved that she went with water colors, and the way the words seemed to "bleed" the coloring

T. Keller created a beautiful poster about honey bees. Honey bees are very important to our society, but we keep killing them off with pesticides. I learned that they cannot see the color red.
