Senator Hardy visits Rural Center

Kansas Senator Hardy visited with our students today. He talked about the importance of education and told all the kids why they should stay in school. He read stories and ate lunch with them.

Tanganika Zoo:

For the last month and a half, the kids have been working on their animal research projects. They had to pick an animal, fill out all their graphic organizers using books, Epic!, or Google search engine. Once they had all their organizers done, they started on their rough drafts. Next they moved onto their final draft that included a table of contents, illustrations and a glossary. Once they had their report wrote, they turned their presentation into a Padlet project on their IPads.

They got to share their presentations with their friends. Going to Tanganika was the last surprise of the project. The kids got to pet animals and hang out in the pens with some of them. The kids loved it and the hour and a half to get their was not that bad either!

Thanks for supporting the love of learning and helping your child look up things about their animal at home! On to our next project :)
