Animals Went Two by Two

The fourth grade clsses are working on an animal unit. They each drew a card with an animal name and information. Students in Mr. Wien's class have animals of the world. Mr. Miller's class has animals of North America. This year, the fourth grade classes will be using the internet for their research. They have a number of good sites with great information. This will keep them from having to do a "google search" which can take more time than the hour they are alloted in class. They will be researching their subject and creating a final project which will be a choice of about seven choices. Students can make a booklet, write a short story, create a poster, and several other options.  Animals are a great source of interest.  The library has many books to support the research.  Enjoy the final project.  Students will have plenty to talk about when they finish.
