My Project

Our 4th graders would find these books useful to help with research during their Endangered Animals project based learning activity.

We would use these resources during the research part of our project based learning.

The goal of our project is for students to get familiar with doing research to specific topics and creating a culminating project together as a group. Our students enjoy working together as a team and this Project Based Learning activity is a great way for them to do so.

Our students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds and offer a wide background of prior knowledge.
