As it was Leap Day today, and it only happens every 4 years, I decided to do something different with the class. I told them that, working in partners, I wanted them to research and present to the class something that had to do with the word 'leap'. After a little confusion (students are not used to having such 'free reign'!), the students began to settle on ideas of what they were going to study. They only had 1 hour to create their presentations, and it was fabulous to see the range of topics selected - there were presentations on dolphins, wolves, frogs, rabbits, leaps that people can do, and so on. The students (and I!) had a lot of fun, and learned some interesting facts from these presentations - here are some photos of the class researching, creating, and presenting:
