We have started our Country Research project.  Each second grade class is researching a different country.  Our class is learning about Egypt.

We started by thinking of what we would like to know about another country.  We came up with many questions such as what food do people eat, what are the schools like and what is the land like in that country.  Ms. Zbacnik helped us learn how to use the computers as tools for research and practiced reading and taking notes from a book.  On Wednesday, we started researching on our own.
Ms. Zbacnik loaded some books onto the computer for us to use.  It is lots of fun to learn about another country.
