Teacher Tips and Notes: What strategies are recommended regarding logistics, preparation, classroom management, or other implementation concerns?

Remember to create and print out a set of instructions for each child as well as your parent helpers. Make sure that these directions are clear. Review them before you go to the lab. A ratio of four children to one adult is best for classroom management and for answering questions. As this software has no spell check, remind the children that their work must be checked by an adult before they print. Once the children have completed this activity, they can then choose another animal to write about.
