Dinosaur Research Week! You will choose a dinosaur of your choice and tell me about their body features and how they were beneficial to that dinosaur’s survival and life. You will also have a chance to design your own fierce or gentle dinosaur.
We will continue creating our travel brochures today and the goal is to finish our research of your country or state so you can start coloring and hopefully finish.
IF you finish early
Our research unit is moving along nicely! Week 1 you used a database and did animal research, Week 2 we learned about the Great White Shark and I used two reliable resources before we tested our memories with Blooket, today we will be using AI. Yes, AI is acceptable and helpful to use when learning about certain things. We will discuss that before you use AI to search a “How to,” you are interested in. I can also print out your “HOW TO” if you send it to me!
We will continue our Research Unit but I will be doing the research part! (you’ll see). Our theme is the Great White Shark. After a short video, slideshow and discussion we can play BLOOKET about everything you learned.
I am out sick today, please be on your best behavior for the sub and have fun creating your storyboards.
Today we will begin our Research Unit! I have a lot of different things planned for you that you will enjoy. We will have a refresher of what the MEL database is and how to navigate through it. Our first research activity involves you doing research on an animal of your choice using a database.
We have learned how to find picture books, fictional books, and graphic novels in our library using our Destiny Catalog. How do we find nonfiction books? What do the numbers on nonfiction books’ spines mean? We are going to turn into Dewey Decimal System Detectives today. All you need is a pencil and clipboard! You will also checkout at least ONE Non-Fiction book from SORA before you leave.
Winter Break is here!! After answering your classmate’s Google Surveys there are a lot of fun holiday activities and stories to look at and choose from.
What is a survey? Why are they important? What do we use them for? After we learn the answers to these questions, we can create our own surveys today! We will collect the data next week.
