First Grade Animal Project

How lucky is Class 1-4? This past month they visited the library a couple of times a week to research groups of animals using books from the non-fiction section of the library as well as databases like PebbleGo.  In just about 3 more sessions they will complete the first main part of their project.  Ms. Simon will then send all of the students' completed pages to a company that will publish the book for the class.  Each student will have the opportunity to purchase the book if they like and an extra copy will be kept in the library.  How great is that? We will have to wait about a month or so for the final product but we will definitely have a celebration when the books finally arrive.  Here are a couple of photos showing the beginning of the book making project.
