Animal Research Project

I posted a few weeks back about a website called LittleBirdTales I planned to use for our animal research project. In that post I showed an example book and how I set up the site for my class (you can find it HERE)

I am happy to share the results from the project. I had 21 kindergarten students create a book. They all made three pages focusing on how the animal moved, what it eats, and how it protects itself.

The only issues I found when using the site

- The students occasionally moving on before saving their work (so I modeled the steps daily)

- We were not able to record audio for the pages. This was an issue on our network not the site itself

- I assigned the same password to all the kids in our grade. This caused issues for students with the same name. Easy to fix next time.

I enjoyed using the site and plan to use it again in the future.

Here are a few of the books the kids created…
