This activity has been tested and used in my elementary school Media Center for years. Students LOVE it! This file has TWO complete Call Number Scavenger Hunts for your library. Each game has two jokes that the students will find the answers to, word by word, as they locate call numbers in the library where you have hidden the Clue Cards provided. The file is editable, so you can change any call numbers that you do not use in your library easily. Since the students will not have had enough with these two games, you can also use it as a template to make more scavenger hunts!! Answer keys provided.

How to Make a Snowman with Super 3 PowerPoint

(0)
Everyone likes to make a snowman!! This is an exciting introduction to the Super 3 Research Process for your Kindergarten-2nd grade students. During an excellent snow year, my husband and I went outside and made an awesome snowman following the steps of the Super 3: Plan, Do, Review. We ran into problems to solve along the way, too! Use this PowerPoint to introduce your students to the process. At the end of the lesson, let them make their own snowmen! I've had students make snowmen on a computer drawing program, with paper and glue, and on black paper with chalks. I found snowman parts to print with a simple Google search and cut them out for my special education students to make a snowman. They still got to plan because they had to choose the parts and how to glue them on. So many ways to make a snowman! I left it editable if you want to add your own twist to the presentation!
