The story, told from a goat's perspective, is about the process of converting wool to yarn. To accompany the reading, the second graders did a yarn weaving project and saw their vocabulary words such as "weaving" and "strand" in action. (Photo courtesy Shelby Anderson) | To Tell the Truth Fourth and fifth grade students involved in Centennial Elementary School's Gifted and Talented Program conducted a research project to learn about students' favorite children's book authors and their works. The fourth and fifth graders shared the findings of their research in the form of a game show called "To Tell the Truth." They visited classrooms and students had to identify a featured author based on clues. (Photo courtesy Kim Sandvig) |
