What if animals had jobs? 🐼👩‍⚕️🦊⚖ What if animals had jobs? 🐼👩‍⚕️🦊⚖️🐰👩‍🍳

Last week, our fourth grade students brought this imaginative question to life through research, writing, and creativity. Each student selected an animal and a profession, then crafted a detailed report and a diorama scene to illustrate their vision.

Among the inspired combinations: a paramedic panda, a bakery-owning bunny, a fox archaeologist, a panther in the courtroom, a monkey business owner, an artist dog, a wolf actor (in sheep’s clothing, of course), an elephant boutique owner, and a sea otter lifeguard.🐶👩‍🎨🐒👨🏽‍💼

Curiosity, humor, and thoughtful research made this project a true celebration of learning through imagination. 🐾✨
