Project Overview
Kindergarten students at Tollgate Elementary in Aurora, Colorado participated in a year-long expedition focusing on plants, soil, worms and gardens.
As a culminating project, they created a crew ABC book. Using the process of revision, each student completed several drafts of their writing and the accompanying picture. They used pieces of nature that they collected outside to create each letter at the top of the pages.
