Projects Projects Projects!

The Zoller Library Media Center is very busy with projects in 4th and 6th grade. 4th grade has just started an animal project in the library. The students are passionate about this topic which, I think, makes the research process less difficult for students. We began the process with book research and learning how to complete a bibliography. After the holiday break students will use websites reviewed by me to complete their research.

6th graders are mid-way through their Ancient Civilization newspaper project. Students are using websites to gather information for their articles.

I will continue to post valuable research websites and we move through these projects.

Thanks for checking in!
