All first graders have now started working on their animal research projects in class, and hopefully you've taken a moment to look through the packet that was sent home earlier this week.  Most of the kids were able to fill in a good portion of their packet during class time and some have even been able to start putting their project together!

Here is the packet, in case you need another copy:

We went through our classroom library and the school library this morning and the kids were able to pull books that could help them learn more about their animal.  These books will be kept in their book boxes at school, but I am more than willing to make copies of any of the pages if they'd like to take the information home.  We will be going to the computer lab with our fifth grade buddies this afternoon to explore some helpful websites and print some information to bring home as well.

The following websites are great resources for this project, as is the Howard Miller Library.

If you find that your child is having a hard time getting the required information on his/her animal, please let me know. 
Thanks for your help with this project!

I am looking forward to working with Owen on his project. He already has ideas about how he wants to create his research project! Thank you forte foundation research you have already helped him gather. I think that made him excited about it.

A survey by National Council for Veterinary Economic Issues (NCVEI) revealed an interesting statistic. The number of American households which have pets is almost equal to the number of American households that have children. While 66% of American households have children, a slightly lower 62% have pets. This reveals that Americans are very passionate about their pets.
