Rainforest Research with 1st Grade

1st graders in Ms. Rogers' Rainforest literacy club returned from spring break ready to learn about rainforest animals! Each small group used PebbleGo, a non-fiction database for emergent readers, to learn about their animal. This database is great for young learners because of the clean layout, read-aloud option, media content, navigation by picture and text, and clear, concise information.

Students practiced navigating the database to find their animal and worked together to find the information. If you would like to use PebbleGo at home with your child, please contact Mrs. Husketh for Club's username and password!


Each member of the group was responsible for writing his/her own important facts in their own words. We learned that it was okay to have different facts from our group members on the same topic.

We love PebbleGo!
