Today is our LAST day to finish our research project. Whether you finish or not, you will take your book home. Those of you that are not done can finish them at home. We have had plenty of time so you should be done by the end of Media today.
Those of you who are done please practice your typing on TYPING CLUB or TYPING.COM or KIDZTYPE
Continuing our research projects! I know a lot of you will be ready to start coloring your illustrations and book covers. You should be so proud of your work.
Week 3 of our research books! So many great illustrations and beautiful covers. I think most of you will be ready for colored pencils and markers next week.
I was so impressed with your research books last week. I love that everyone is taking their time with writing their facts and illustrating. Today is Week 2! Let’s continue doing great.
Last week you did a great job navigating through databases off the MEL. Today is the fun part! I have a blank, hard-covered book for each of you that you are going to use to write the facts that you have found off the database you chose to use for your topic. You are going to add illustrations and color to make it look beautiful. You are going to take your time because we are spending at least 2 weeks working on this. Remember, this is something you will keep forever so you want it to look great.
Research is a great way to learn new things and you will be doing it in every grade. Researching different topics and things is also really fun, especially when we are interested in what you are learning about. I ordered blank hard-covered books for each of you! At the end your research steps you will create your own book featuring what you researched, facts and colorful illustrations to go along with it.
Today we will get ourselves familiar with different Database sites and explore. I will have a graphic organizer ready for you next week.
Tomorrow is the last day before break!! Woohoo! I promised you some Holiday Fun today so I added options you can choose from. You can build your own Snowman, Elf Yourself, listen to Holiday books or anything you haven’t finished yet! I will read one of my favorite stories at the beginning as well.
Coding week! We will go over what coding is, what it is used for and how we can use it as kids. After practicing some coding you also have the option of decorating your own Holiday Sweater!
You are going to create your own Survey today using Google Forms. I will also teach you how to add images to your options and heading. I will compile and share all of your surveys and your classmates will respond to them after Thanksgiving break so you can view your data.
