A Class Full of Published Authors

Finally Published!

Congratulations to Class 1-4!




After spending some time in the library researching information about animals we have finally received a published copy of their class created "All About Animals" non-fiction book.


Students worked in groups of 4 and used a number of resources in the library. After discussing the characteristics of specific categories of animals they had the opportunity to learn more by browsing through our large collection of animal books. One of their favorite parts of the research process seemed to be when they used the PebbleGo database online. Not only were they able to record facts about their animal, they were also able to view little video snippets of the animal in action.


After a couple of months of researching in the library, Ms. Simon sorted and finalized all of the pages and then send them to be published. We used the Student Treasures Publishing company and they did a wonderful job binding Class 1-4's book.  Some students even purchased their own copy.  Now all we need is a celebration! Be on the lookout for that!
