Nocturnal Animals WebQuest

I've created an exciting project for our class!  This project is called a WebQuest, which is like an adventure for you to do on the computer.  We'll be learning more about Nocturnal Animals, like we are learning in our classroom.  Remember, nocturnal animals are awake during the day and sleep at night. Can you think of any animals like that? 

Your adventure will be to choose one animal to study and then complete your project about.  You'll learn about the animal and then create a poster with some writing and a picture that you draw of your animal.  When you're finished, you'll bring it to school and get a turn to share it with your friends! I'm looking forward to seeing your posters and hearing all about your adventure, learning more about your nocturnal animals. 

If you have any questions about your project, ask you mom or dad to write a note to me!

Parents' Note: The purpose of this home- school project is to expose children to online resources such as videos and games so that they can extend the learning that is taking place at school.  Your child will then use their knowledge to write or help you write some information about their chosen animal to share on their poster.  They will also draw a "scientific picture" (using the correct colors and referencing a real photograph), so that their classmates can see what the animal looks like.  Children will share their posters with the class. Please let me know if you have any questions!
