An ABC Book of Plants and Animals At The Rice
School Habitat This digital ABC Book was created
by the 2004-05 third grade students in Mrs. Gomez
class at The Rice School. The students observed,
identified, and read a variety of fiction and
non-fiction texts about the living organisms in
The Rice School Habitat. After completing their
research, they created a verse by finding
specific nouns, verbs and adjectives from their
research to describe their organism. The slides
were created with Microsoft PowerPoint.
