Second Grade
November begins our Landforms collaborative unit with second grade. This month students learned about safe searching and finding research only our district databases, Facts4Me, World Book Online, and PebbleGo. After choosing different landforms to research, second graders will access the databases to find information that will then be used to create a Book Creator book next month. They will record their research and turn their books into videos, complete with photos and references.
