Researching at the Library!

Clive, Delaney, Oscar and Mary researching amphibians at the library!
In a day and age when technology rules, I still think it is important for children to learn the skills to research utilizing printed materials. 
Maggie, Trent, Caroline, Angelina, Patrick, Lance and Brendan researching at the library

There is just something about holding a library book and flipping through the pages looking for information that is motivating for students.
Kaya, Jane, Katie and Valerie researching birds at the library!
So as we researched for our animal projects and I guided students to the Encyclopedia Britannica website as well as the Discovery Education site, I also set up a time for us to utilize the library and check out books for our animal projects.  And the children loved every moment and really found a wonderful amount of information!
