Animal Studies

Last week our class visited the NC Zoo at Asheboro and learned some amazing facts about the animals of Africa and North America. On Thursday morning, the students did a little extra research of their own on an animal of choice. Groups of 2-3 students went to another classroom to become experts on that animal, and then worked together to create a diaplay to "teach" the rest of the class. I am very proud of the hard work that the kids put into their projects. I am even more amazed at the level of intensity they had about learning more. I had many who asked to get on computers and grab extra books to research more. BRAVO TO YOU FIRST GRADERS! After making our posters, our class had a "gallery walk" where they read, and commented on their peers work. Everyone left nice feedback and had fun learning about zebras, lions, alligators, giraffes, monkeys, bears, seals and elephants.
