This is a Science Research Project/Expository Writing assignment that I did with my third graders. We researched using this site: http://www.kids-and-space.com/sites/venus.htm . The students adored using the Internet to research and then drawing pictures and writing expository paragraphs. I covered two subjects with one project.

I've been teaching since 2000. I taught sheltered 6th grade in a low-income district near Chicago for 4 years, and 3rd and 4th grade for two years. I also taught 2nd and 3rd grade summer school. I earned National Board Certification in 2008. I currently work as an ESL/ELL specialist teacher for K-5. I do both small group (pull-out) teaching as well as co-teaching in regular classrooms.
