Leon Springs Elementary third grade students have  been researching different types of wetlands, including marshes, bogs, swamps, and prairie pot holes.  Their research task was to find out why these special areas are endangered, how they benefit the environment, and what we can do to save them.     

 Leon Springs librarian, Jennifer Hardin, gave students instruction in using the Big6 research process and how to access information in databases such as netTrekker, Discovery’s United Streaming, and Facts On File (Science Online). 

 The librarian, CIT, and third grade teachers worked together to help the students make brochures which outlined their findings and encouraged people to join together to save the wetlands!
