The practicum student that is visiting our classroom was shocked to learn that 1st graders are expected write research papers. The answer is....YES!!!
We are currently working on writing research papers about animals. Students were put into 7 different groups and given a specific animal to research. Over the next two weeks, we will be researching the animals using a website called "Pebble Go". They will bring writing their papers and creating a power point presentation to go along with their topic. Students will also be painting an illustration on the computer to include in their power point. We are very excited about this project!!!! :)
Also, we will not be working with our literature circle groups as much over the next two weeks. Our main focus is going to be our research papers, and we will be spending a lot of time in the computer lab.
I will let everyone know how they turn out! :)
