We are starting to do some research on small crawling and flying animals. We started reading through books in our class to find information, but will also practice researching online as well! Below are some websites that I found that have some information on the different topics. You are welcome to do some research at home and bring it to class as well! Just make sure that YOU are doing the research since your parents and older brothers/sisters have already done Grade 2!!
