Animal Project

First Graders will be VERY busy in the coming weeks researching an animal and creating a variety of projects to show their understanding of its physical characteristics, habitat, food sources, and predators.  Information will be coming home in your child’s Friday folder this week for your review and signature. While most of the research will be done at school, the projects will be completed at home.
