learning experience

Dumbarton second graders are Wild About Habitats! To support their science exploration into animal habitats, students practiced their research skills using Pebble Go and epic! books to learn more about a habitat. Students synthesized their learning to create class books  all about habitats using Book Creator with librarian, Mrs. Karluk.

This project has improved our 2nd graders' computer skills by working with a new program and has improved their skills as a communicator by verbalizing their knowledge on a new platform. - Mrs. Karluk

Additional Pictures/Media/ARTIFACTS

Students used images, captions, and text to communicate their learning in Book Creator

Some classes worked on individual pages in a class book

Mrs. Karluk explored a new tool with 2nd grade students!

Other students worked on individual books that we will turn into one big book!
