The second graders have been working very hard on a digital research project about animals. They each chose the animal they wanted to learn about, searched for information, took notes, and then created drawings and a report. They published a class book and then created a video that contains all of their reports!  Here is the book!

Here is the 2nd Grade Animal Research project  in video format! The students researched, took notes, drew a computer art picture of their animal subject, produced a PowerPoint slide of factual information, and narrated their researched paragraph using a program called PhotoStory. They hope you might learn something new about these Amazing Animals!

Stay Tuned!  The video version will be coming to this spot very soon!

Our Padlet about Our Community
