In Geiger's "A Dolphin Tale" project, approximately 160 fourth grade students will integrate learning about dolphins across several areas of their curriculum. In science, students will understand how the animals interact with the environment. In art classes, they will create models of dolphins and comprise them into a mural for school viewing. For their reading courses, students will read the novel, Island of the Blue Dolphin, about a child stranded on an island with only dolphins. In their technology and math courses, students will track dolphin locations and form graphs based on the data. Students will also plot the dolphin locations on a world map using their knowledge of latitude and longitude in their social studies courses. By the end of the school year, students should understand how science can be used in different subject areas in creative ways. Geiger is a resident of Homestead.
