For our first research project, the children each picked an African country to research. (This was an extension activity off of one of our reading theme books, Galimoto.) They researched their countries and wrote informational paragraphs at school, then they took their information home and got creative. And creative they were! Many thanks to my 2nd grade parents for helping their kids do an amazing job on their projects. Here's a look at a few. More to come later!
The next two kids researched countries that have a lot of meaning to each of them. Both their mothers came from these countries, and they still have family there!
