Summer Games

The Summer Games are about to start soon. 

I have put together some resources for you to use with your grade.

These resources are ready to go and fill with facts from the research you can do with your students. 

We are focusing in research skills and key word searches. Our kids will be in teams and will complete the information together and present to the grade. This will be great for looking at Speaking and Listening Outcomes.
