Parents,

        We will be working on animal research reports at school. I have attached a mini-version of what your child will be working on at school. You can help by looking up information with your child on websites and reading books about their animal with them. They should read what they can but some resources may not be on their reading level. Students will do the writing portion at school and will also have the option of working on a poster or a PowerPoint. Also, if you have access to a printer (or magazines) for pictures that your child could bring to school that would be fabulous. This should be a fun, beginning, research project! I can’t wait to see how the students do!
