An ABC Book of Plants and Animals

At The Rice School Habitat

This digital ABC Book was created by the 2004-05 third grade students in Mrs. Gomez class at The Rice School. The students observed, identified, and read a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts about the living organisms in The Rice School Habitat. After completing their research, they created a verse by finding specific nouns, verbs and adjectives from their research to describe their organism. The slides were created with Microsoft PowerPoint.
