Over the past few months, these high achieving students in the Exceptional Learner Program at South Boston Catholic Academy have been working on an inquiry-based project to answer the question: Can these animals live in South Boston?

After finding out what their animal eats and drinks, the climate it needs, and other key components to survival, the students made trifold posters and iPad presentations to teach about their animal. If the animal could not live in South Boston, the students had to think critically of adaptations they could make so the animal could live here. The students came up with very creative ideas, so do not be surprised if you see some unusual animals wandering around in South Boston!

South Boston Catholic Academy is currently accepting applications for all classes preschool though sixth grade. We have Before School and After School Programs available and have small class size, and high acceptance rate to Parochial, Private and Boston Exam Schools. Please contact Mrs. Barbara Keohane with any questions or for a tour of the school at b.keohane@sbcatholicacademy.org or call 617-268-2326 for more information.
