pushpin  Provide young students with an opportunity to participate in the creation of an electronic dictionary of animals.

pushpin  Register to receive the THREE designated letters of the alphabet for your class or participating students. Please include: pushpin  Students create an original piece of artwork for a real animal whose name begins with one of those letters. Suggestions for classroom activities, an assessment rubric, and additional instructional resources are provided.

pushpin  Use ONLY paper sized 10cm by 10cm, crayons or colored pencils for the student artwork. Computer drawing programs may also be used.

pushpin  Choose one piece of artwork from your class to submit for each assigned letter.

pushpin  Have the creators of the entries write a complete sentence about their animal in their own words to accompany their artwork. See the example.

pushpin  Furnish the student's name, grade, and school with each entry so that they may receive recognition for their work.

pushpin  Entries should be scanned, resized to 50% of the original size, saved in .gif, .jpg, or .pict format, and emailed to my address. If your school does not have the necessary equipment for this, entries may also be 'snail' mailed to:

flying butterfly

Valley Institute Elementary

Bristol, Virginia 24202

      Sorry, but entries will not be returned.
