Done...

the Animal Research Project is done!

Starts in January with the kids choosing their animal.  Then doing research and

taking notes/answering questions about their animal.

Those notes are then written into different sections.

Once those notes have been edited, the students then start

typing and editing.

then they illustrate

in between all of that, there are some students that start making a paper mache

model of their animal.  We had a parent volunteer come in and help with that

and Miss Debbie did the messy part outside

the models have been painted and the final touches have been done.

signatures collected, pages checked and rechecked, 

done, done, done!!!

this whole project is done at school.

During this whole process we do Language Arts that has to do with animals.

Close Reading passages about animals.

it's a long process for sure!

the packets are shipped off and in about a month, we receive bound book.  If

everyone in the class signs the permission form, the kids get their book for free!

It's a long 6 weeks, but so worth it in the end.
