Kindergartners Learn to Research

Just another example of how even our youngest can utilize our online databases and conduct research at the click of a button! Kindergartners in Ms. Levi and Ms. Maffettone’s class at Hampton have been experimenting with the online research database PebbleGo. Designed for elementary learners, the database provides facts in an easy-to-read format on any given subject and even offers the option of having the information read out loud for the student. Most recently, students used the program to research penguins, which was the start of a two-week project for the students. This project was a precursor to the culminating grade-appropriate research project that every class is required to complete at the end of the school year.
