ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Using an animal of your choice write a title, general statement and create a diagram for your information report. 

Remember, the general statement should be the most important information about your animal. What is the first thing you would tell your reader about your animal if they had  never heard of it before? Once you have completed a draft, make sure to edit your writing to make it even better!
