Karin Ryon's Class |
| We are a second and third grade
special education class in South Manor, Long Island, New York. This year we have
been studying the oceans and rain forests of the world. While we were studying the
rain forests our librarian, Mrs. Gilmore, came across the cool website about bats.
She thought that it would be fun for us to contribute to it. The class worked in groups of two or three and did some research on different rain forest bats. All in all they had a great time. Below is the information that they gathered plus pictures that they drew to go with their bats. We hope you enjoy them! |
