Insect

About our Projects
One day we found a strange insect while we
were working in the Goodnoe Garden. We wanted
to find out more about the insect so we looked in
nonfiction books and on the internet to learn about
it. We took notes to keep track of what we read.
We made many projects with the information
we learned. One of them is a power point we will
present to you. Later we will share our diagrams,
trading cards, research reports, riddles, poems,
and models with you too.
We are glad you are here and hope you
learn a lot about insects today.
