Armadillo Selena Is On The Move
Selena Is On The Move
Project Description:

     Mrs. Ritter and Miss Longhi will send Selena the armadillo, our project mascot, to participating classes across America. When Selena visits a class, she will come with the book "The Armadillo From Amarillo", her suitcase and a scrapbook of Fort Worth, Texas. Selena will visit each classroom for one week. When she arrives, the host class will e-mail the coordinating classrooms and let them know Selena arrived safely. During Selena’s visit the host class will record their daily adventures with Selena in her online journal. At the end of her visit, the host class will mail Selena to the next class, along with her suitcase, scrapbook and her armadillo book. The host class will also e-mail the project coordinators to let them know Selena has left the school and is on her way to the next school. Included in this final e-mail should be a computer generated picture of one of the favorite sites in their city. This will be added to Selena's webpage.

Project Objectives:

     The students will:
  • Write for real world purposes.
  • Develop map skills.
  • Develop computer skills.
  • Use a variety of reading strategies to read email messages, books related to the topic and webpages.
