Hello students! Today, we will combine reading comprehension and writing skills with our animal love. You'll choose an animal, research it, and decide if it would make a good pet. Remember to use reliable sources online or a book from our library and write down 3 facts about your animal in your notes!

Think about what animal interests you the most! It can be any animal - from a tiny hamster to a mighty elephant. Make sure it's an animal you want to learn more about. Once you've chosen, raise your hand and let me know!

Use our classroom books or the approved websites to find THREE interesting facts about your animal, and make sure to write them down in full sentences!. Focus on:
- What does it eat?
- Where does it live?
- What special features does it have?

-How much money does it cost to own?

- Would it be happy living with humans?
- Can you take care of its needs?
