We are starting our first “research” project. They’ve picked out their topic and asked their “wonder” question about it. Now they will be researching to find the answer to their questions as well as to learn some facts about their topic. SO each child is in need of a white poster board. I will be buying them and am asking for a 50 cents donation. Later we will be using the poster board to make a big “bubble” to draw on and post their research on.
