Writing Celebration
In the fall Room 2 was involved in the Journey North project in which we reported sightings of Monarch butterflies during their migration to Mexico. We are presently participating in an online project with schools from all over the world involving reporting seasonal data to a central location. A third project we have been involved in as we learn to write letters is the Geography Postcard project. We made postcards to send information about our state to schools in each of the 50 United States as well as Washington, D.C, and Puerto Rico. We received postcards from all states.
