3rd Grade Arctic Animals

This week at the RBE Library, 3rd grade students will be choosing an arctic animal to research. This is a very exciting topic that students will be able to pursue in the coming weeks.

We are going to go through the research process by seeing what creatures they can choose from, picking the one they are most interested in, then developing their own open ended questions using this. Students will use library books and the links below to answer their questions and record web resources here and print resources here. After they have their questions, they will use a variety of resources to answer their questions. They will use some books and some online resources.
After they have answered their questions, they will record their learning and then create a newsletter using the most important pieces of their learning. The other product of their learning will be a glogster on Glogster.
