Last week I posted about our animal research projects in 1st grade. We practiced doing research on animals with books and digital resources, and also had a lesson on presentation skills. We invited the RRISD Partners in Education Foundation Board members to come watch us present what we learned on Friday, 5/15/15. We were thrilled to receive both Vice President Ruth Ann Dickensheets and Board Member Lisa Cauble. They were so generous with their time to stop by and learn about animals with us. Check out this video of our presentations and our time we spent with the Board members.
Thanks so much to Mrs. James & Mrs. San Miguel and their classes for opening their rooms to the PIE Foundation Board members and to me so that the library could show how the grant money was put to good use! Our $1000 bought us many new animal books that the students used for their research projects this year, and provided a great springboard for showing how good research can be a blend between print and digital resources.
