We will be starting our Ocean Animal Research Projects next week! It all starts with CLOSE reads, finding key details, and finding text features before we can start writing our reports!
Our standards we will be covering over the next couple weeks are in the blue box! We can do so much at this time of the year! I can't wait to see all of our hard work come together and read these reports!! 

Our anchor text will be Manfish, a true story of an underwater explorer (just like we will be). Go find it at your local library. We are going to be just like the famous Jacques Cousteau and head to the depths of the library and internet to find the best information to read about ocean animals! Please comment with any websites/apps that would be great to research with! Here are some links that we will be using:
