Snakes




Last week Madison was assigned her first project and presentation. She had to choose her favorite or most interesting animal, find three facts and then either create a poster, comic strip, or write a report about it. She chose snakes as her animal and decided to create a poster for her presentation. We looked for facts on-line and in books, and there were way to many to only chose three. After narrowing down the facts she wanted to include, she printed out pictures of snakes and categorized them as either poisonous or non-poisonous. She also included a rhyme that she learned from her Kindergarten teacher last year: "Red touch yellow, kill a fellow. Red touch black, friend of Jack." During her presentation, she had the class demonstrate how long a green anaconda can grow to be by having six of her friends lie on the ground head to toe. She read that idea on national geographic kids and just had to include it! Her teacher, along with the kids seemed to enjoy it. Her teacher said she did a great job. Madison said she was a little nervous, but once she got up there, it was fun!

Good Job Madison!
