Animal Reports

As we are reaching the conclusion of the term and our Science unit on Animals, your children have started a research book on Animals. They spent an afternoon enjoys a mountain high pile of animal books and then gave Mrs. Teague a list of the top three animals they wanted to learn more about. They have now been put into small groups of 2 or 3 and given an animal to research. Over the next month they will be writing an All About... book.  If you have any nonfiction books at home that fit one of our categories feel free to send it in for us to use! (Make sure it is clearly labelled so we can return it.) We would also encourage you to take your child to the public library and sign out a book or two on their animal. Additionally, it would be a great idea for your child to look up some interesting facts on their animal on the internet. These can be written in their planner or brought in on a slip of paper in the planner pocket. National Geographic Kids has a great section full of animal facts. Ask your child which animal they have been given to study and let the research begin!

Here are the animals that we will be learning more about:

Beavers, Snakes, Cheetahs, Alligators/Crocodiles, Dolphins, Deer, Eagles and Bears. 

I am also including the rubric for the report. This will be used to assess your child's progress. The students and I will discuss these goals in class and talk about the scale from 1 to 4.
