INTERMEDIATE classes are knee-deep in NIGHT CREATURE RESEARCH. The students pick a night creature that they will research and start recording data in their classrooms using nonfiction books. Then they come to the library for encyclopedia research. This year students are using print resources along with online resources. They learn how to "chunk" information and record it on a Source List. Please take time to ask your child what different kinds of resources they used when getting to know more about their night creature. Better yet, have them show you how to access Work Book Online through http://www.iowaaeaonline.org/ .
