Planet Research with K/1!

Mrs. Overby's K/1 class visited the Media Center in small groups last week to research a planet. This research supported the learning in the classroom for their space unit. First we talked about what research is and why the Media Center is a good place to go if you want to learn something new. This is Step 1 (Planning) of our research process--thinking of the resources we could use to find out information.

Then students used PebbleGo to listen and read information about their planet. This is Step 2 of our research process--writing down what we learn. (Parents--if you would like to access PebbleGo at home with your child, please contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Husketh for the username and password. The kids love it and it's educational and fun at the same time!)

Mrs. Overby developed a template for the students to take notes and draw an illustration of their planet.


Here we are--working hard on our research!

We are proud of our work!

Our finished work is on display outside of Mrs. Overby's classroom!
