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.

Thanks for your help with this project!
