After reading Afternoon on the Amazon we each received an assignment to research an animal from the Amazonian Rain Forest. After using the information from the web, we are putting our reports on the Kidspiration software. Our winter vacation slowed us down, but we will be posting each animal and some facts soon. Check back to read about all the interesting things we have learned.
