Teach elementary students about animal habitats with this engaging hands on unit that includes shoebox dioramas, animal research and informational writing.
Teaching research skills in kindergarten and first grade lays a strong foundation for future learning success.
Teaching students about animal research reports is the perfect combination of nonfiction reading and informational writing!
This pack includes 2 graphic organizers and an "all about" book that can be differentiated. My students LOVED using this when researching about animal and even more so that they got to make a book after!
This week we focused on reading nonfiction texts and writing “research” papers. I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but I do think it has been a good experience for my kiddos. At my school research writing is huge. Starting in 3rd grade, they are required to do these huge research reports that are ... Read More about Research Writing First Grade Style

K-4 Animal Research Projects, an education post from the blog What the Teacher Wants!, written by Rachelle Smith on Bloglovin’
It. is. done. O.M.G. I can't believe it. It feels like the kids have been working on this forever. Let's blame the snow days and the 'I need to change this a bit,' I forgot my camera to take good pictures or I watch too much TV instead of working. The kids really liked it! I tweaked it a billion times, I added a few things, and by now, I am happy to say it was a success. We are saving them for conferences, because, well, they are that cool. Animals are always a big hit when it comes to research. Making it interactive added a nice touch to the entire process. Interactive Animal Research Project The kids began by choosing an animal they did not know much about. This way when they reflected on their learning, they realized how much one can learn from other sources. Two file folders get transformed into an interactive animal project. Kids choose an animal, get books from the library and use all the templates to create a draft. Then use the interactive templates to complete and glue to their file folders. If you do not want to use file folders, you can always use construction paper or glue right onto any other interactive notebooks you may have. Sticky notes, nonfiction text, folders, scissors, glue, crayons and color pencil are the magic ingredients. Draft templates and more nonfiction reading included :) Final animal reports using strong beginnings, details, facts and a closing sentence. Informational writing at its best. How you do teach informational writing? It is on sale until Friday HERE.
Learning how to research is an important skill, and one that is practiced to some degree at all grade levels. Most kids will go through full-blown research projects at some point in the year in their classrooms. While this is important, I also feel kids need to be given multiple opportunities to investigate topics of their... Read more
