Learning How to Research

The children have been working hard to find information on their Polar animals.  They have been applying their knowledge of the non-fiction text conventions to help them easily find the facts they want to uncover.  We have spent several days pouring through books, used our iPads to find current information on the web, and have watched several National Geographic videos to gather our precise facts. Their graphic organizers include specific information about their Polar animal's habitat, adaptations that help it to survive in the harsh Polar Regions, and finally the stages of their animal's life cycle.  Please be sure to ask your child what they have learned, I know they will surprise you and make you proud!
