It is almost that time of year in 3rd grade where students have their first at-home project. Every year students complete the critter can project. This project involves students doing research on a selected animal and then creating that animal to be displayed alongside their research. The research portion of the project will happen in school, and the creation of the animal portion of the project will be done at home. This project HAS NOT been assigned yet, but today I am sending home the list of animals that students can choose from. Students are to select three of the animals from the list and rank them from 1st choice to 3rd choice. I will do my best to assign students their 1st choice. Please help your child choose an animal that they are interested in learning more about (not an animal they are already an expert on) and one that you feel they would be able to create at home. I would like this paper returned TOMORROW so that I am able to go to the library to check out books on each animal as we prepare for the research portion of the project. If your child DOES NOT return the paper tomorrow, I will be choosing an animal for them.
More information will come home in the next couple of weeks about the at-home portion of the project. Please do not attempt to start it yet, as we have specific guidelines students have to follow. Please let me know if you have any questions!
