Koala Bears By: Ms. Fulghum’s 2 nd Grade Class January 28, 2008
Ms. Fulghum taught us how to research on the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL). We found facts about Ms. Fulghum’s favorite animal: the koala bear. Then, we created PowerPoint slides to show what we learned. Take a look! We hope you enjoy our very first presentation!
