There is also a worksheet for them to keep track of what they are doing in the center (if you would like to use for accountability in centers).
In addition, I have built an option into this game where students can ask their friends for help, and still get a prize for the correct answer. Ho

Animal Research Choice Board
This simple choice board was created for students in kindergarten through 2nd grade who are ready to decide what to create after researching an animal. I find that offering too many choices at first with younger students is overwhelming so these 4 projects I believe are easiest to accomplish independently. Students will need for you to supply the materials to create their project, but then they should be well on their way to creating their presentation!

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
Benefits of learning English language arts
Learning English language arts offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. It helps students:
- Develop effective communication skills
- Build critical thinking and analytical skills
- Nurture their creativity and imagination
By ensuring that students have a solid foundation in English language arts, teachers can help set them up for future success.
