Database Lesson for 2nd Graders


Second graders learned how to access two databases to which the Bellevue School District subscribes, PebbleGo and TumbleBooks. PebbleGo's database is filled with nonfiction books on mammals, insects, amphipeans, dinosaurs and more! Most creatures have videoclips and many have sound clips. Students can choose to have the text read aloud. TumbleBooks is a database of stories. Students can choose to have them read aloud. Texts are available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, and Chinese.

To access these databases, contact Mrs. Bolivar for log-in and password information.
