Throughout our animal unit, we studied the different animal groups: mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, insects, and invertebrates.
By the end of the unit, they had a several graphic organizers full of information as well as a unit summary book that they could use for their research.
For their final project, they had to present some information about an animal of their choice following a rubric. I provided them with plenty of print resources from my classroom library and school library and even gave them links to websites where they could find information.
You can get a copy of the animal research packet I used for free! Just click HERE or on the picture above. Happy researching!
Do you think this is appropriate for kindergardeners? Our kindergarden teacher gave this to my daughter as a project for final week of school. My child is barely learning how to read. I now see she just downloaded it from your blog...
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the class. Every class is different. I used it with first grade, but have had kindergarten classes in the past that it would be appropriate for. If you are concerned about the project, I would encourage you to speak to your child's teacher. You may find that the majority of the project is being done together in class.
