Llama Slide Creators

The llama slides were created by Mrs. Hills class in May 2000.
The students were: Erin Applegarth, Jayleen Beesley, Chris
Cobo, Levi Conrad, Tessa DeHaven, Kendall Edwards, Logan
Iverson, Jaime Ixta, Eric Liera, Kasie Lockhart, Johnny Moore,
Meghan Norris, Sydney Penner, David Peterson, Jessica
Rametes, Melanie Read, Robbie Salazar, Emily Smith, Viky
Vargas, Steven Wilkins.

Now lets see if we can create some new slides.

As a class we will vote on a different farm animal
to include.
After we find out what animal, your team will
draw the name of the slide they will work on.
(use, birth, shelter, food, or covering)
Your team will then find information to put on
the slide about the animal.
Have fun!
