Slither, Creep, Crawl....Rain Forest Research

Has your child came home and told you that they are a researcher?  Well...they are!  For the last two weeks the students have been involved in a researchers workshop.  They have been reading nonfiction texts to learn about the rain forest.  We have learned how to tell the difference between important information and interesting details.  In addition, the students learned how to summarize the information they learn.  This week, the students created a poster to share their learning. Next week, the students will be creating a cinquain poem about their rain forest animal.  I'll post pictures of our work next week.   Below is some pictures of the students hard at work on their rain forest posters.
