Habitat Project
This semester, we will be working on a special habitat project. In class, students will be researching facts about animals that live in the rainforest. We will use these facts to write a research report. If you would like to help aid your student in their quest for knowledge, in addition to the facts they find in class they may bring also bring in facts from home. Below are just a few of the hundreds of reputable websites out their with facts about animals that live in the rain forests. Students are welcome to bring in information from home about their animal, but it MUST include the information necessary for citing their source, as we will be creating a bibliography with our project.
