Second graders are beginning the first steps in learning the research process as a group study. We are beginning our in depth study by taking notes together and summarizing. Your child may gather any information about the rain forests and utilize the download pages we are completing in class. Feel free to print out or send to school any information you feel would enhance our studies. I encourage you to research at home, and please bring your findings to class!
