Alabama Scrapbook and Scavenger Hunt

Mrs. O’Banion’s fourth graders will take part in an Alabama Scavenger Hunt! Collected items can be kept and maintained in a 1” binder, scrapbook, or even presented as a PowerPoint. The due date will be May 4, 2017. The goal is to collect as many items as possible for the scrapbook. Each item has a designated point value. Your goal is to get at least 100 points. Some of these items are easy to find and may even be found at school or on a field trip. Others may require a little extra effort. Items with an asterisk (*) must be included in the project. All items will be returned as soon as scrapbooks are graded.
