Then we brainstormed names of animals that we would like to learn more about. We rated which animals we would most like to do a report on and then our teacher paired us up. Books went home the first week and parents were asked to read them to the kids. Questions to answer also went home. In class students wrote in the their journal why they chose their animal. Each day we chose a different question to answer in our journal. Students worked with their partners. Where does your animal live? What does your animal eat? What does your animal look like? Finally, what interesting facts do you know about your animal? After we answered these questions we chose a poster board and started copying information to go on our poster. We collected pictures of our animals. Then we made a plan of how we wanted to set up our poster with the title, pictures and written information. As you can see from this video it was a successful project. Thanks to all the parents for their help. The kids learned lots of information about animals and they were very keen to share it. What do you think?
