4th Graders Explored South America through the Inquiry Process (Connect - Wonder - Investigate - Construct - Express - Reflect)!
 |
| Country Posters created by 4th grade students |
The 4th grade students were placed into triads and each group chose a country in South America to research. Some of them were able to make connections to the countries they were researching.
They wondered about things they wanted to learn about their chosen country and learned to conduct an investigation. They collected information from the CultureGrams database. After taking notes about the capital, population, sports, clothing, etc. of their country on a graphic organizer, students learned how to construct a poster on their country using Google Drawing. Students worked hard in groups to design country posters including important information about their countries.
Finally, students learned how to convert their Google Drawings into Google Slides so that their slides can be made into a slide show. Student triads expressed what they learned about their country in front of the whole group. What a wonderful experience!

2nd Graders Learned about Africa through Research!
Please click the map of Africa to see the slide show!Second grade students paired up and chose African countries to research. Then, they accessed the CultureGrams database through the Forest Road Library Website.
They leaned how to navigate the database and found the information they needed such as government, food, currency, religion, population, etc. of their chosen countries. They took notes on graphic organizers. Then, each pair learned how to create a Google Slide, inserting a background, pictures and some important information about the country.
So proud of their first Google Slides!
