I wanted to let everyone know what fun assignment we're going to begin working on this week. Students are going to be researching one of our National Parks and completing an online flyer called a SMORE to present their information. We'll begin on Monday with the research portion of the project. Students are going to be using both books and the internet to look up information on their assigned park. Our librarian has graciously volunteered to help students find books on National Parks this week during their library time. They'll also be using their computer time during centers to research their park on the classroom Chromebooks. You, parents, are encouraged to help your student continue to research at home. Please get involved with this fun project. After we have completed the research, students will be using a program called SMORE to complete an online flyer about their National Park. I am including an example SMORE I made to give you and students an idea of what they can create. We'll be presenting these SMORES in class on Friday, May 20. You are welcome to attend the presentations. As always, please contact me if you have any questions. I hope you're looking forward to this fun assignment as much as I am.
