Examples of Animal Report Posters

Here are a few examples of animal report posters I found online.  These are not ocean animals, of course, but they should help you get an idea of how to use the information from your child's ocean animal research outline to help him or her design a poster to present to the class. 

As noted in this week's Weekly News and Homework, the research outline is due this Friday, the poster is due next week, and the oral presentations will be Friday, May 16th.  If you would like to keep the poster at home until the day of the presentations to help your child practice, that's fine, too.  If you have any questions, please ask! :)


         

We had a great day at the Seymour Center!

 We are extremely blessed to have such wonderfully supportive parents. Thank you everyone for getting your children to school early today and thank you drivers for taking such good care of our kinders on our field trip. We couldn't have done it without you!!
