Kindergartners Create Digital Animal Fact Books!

Kindergartners have been busy this last month of school becoming expert animal researchers. A collaborative unit between classroom teachers, our technology specialist and myself aimed to teach our youngest learners the steps of simple research process. Using the Super 3 steps of Plan, Do, Review our kindergartners slowly became animal experts. They used books and internet sources to gather their information and organized their findings on a simple graphic organizer. After creating classroom charts of their findings, each student chose one fact to share about their animal to be included in a digital nonfiction book. Check out the completed digital products below. Kudos to a job well done!
