Hi all!  I am really looking forward to another great Ashford University Masters Course!  If you haven't had a chance, take a look at my Present.me introduction and my Prezi.  I am super excited about my Prezi which has been totally revamped and is currently being used as a tech savvy resume to interview for new teaching positions!  I hope to keep up with my blog a little better through this course!

We are studying Animal Habitats in Room 15.  This culminating project is fun and informative!  Each student will choose an animal and research their animal and it's habitat.  Research and preliminary report writing will be done in class.  A shoe box diorama and the final report will need to be completed at home.

Here are the instructions for completing the Animal Habitat Diorama.  Have fun and be creative!

On Wednesday, your student will be bringing home their initial research and Animal Habitat fact sheet.  They will use this fact sheet as a guide to help them prepare and write their report.  Reports are due on May 25th, the same day as the diorama.

Animal Research Reports can be handwritten or typed.  Third graders must submit a minimum of 20 sentences.  Second graders are required to complete 15 sentences about their animal and it's habitat, and first graders should strive to complete 10 sentences.  Remember to use capital letters and proper punctuation!
