Yesterday students began the first steps of their research report about an animal of the west. Students created six essential questions and corresponding envelopes to hold note cards. Students were excited to choose their animals--please ask your child which one they're studying.
Students are focusing on human’s interaction with their animal over time. For example, how did the animal population/habitat change after westward expansion? How does its population/well being of the animal bode for the future. What (if any) adaptations have the animals made to deal with change? These questions are reflected in student's essential questions they created today.
Amy and I will send you more specifics as far as due dates, but we just wanted to get the students started on their research. Please help your child research their animal this week--we do not have spelling in order to give more time. At home you can help your child by finding information online or even take a trip to a local library. Videos and current events articles are useful, too. Although students will be doing most of the note taking at school, helping them find information to bring to school will be helpful.
Homework for tonight is:
