Animal Reports

are due on October 30.  You can turn them in early for bonus points.  Use the Pioneer Library tab on our blog to get access to lots of information!

Don't forget your "WOW" factor.  You could make a craft that goes with your animal, you could use real plants, rocks, etc. 

We will present our animal reports after I have graded them.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
