Report Writing

In writing we just finished doing reports on unique and interesting animals like our friend "J" did a report on the fastest animal on land- the cheetah.

 Our friend "I" did a report on an animal where echo-location comes in real handy- it’s the bat.

 Next our friend "A" did a report on an extinct animal- the raptor- which has an ancestor that is the biggest dinosaur in history.

Last but not least, our friend "L" did a report on a mischievous mini-monkey the pygmy marmoset.
