Dear Families and Friends,We are thrilled to be the first friends to blog to you about the rainforest. Each second grader chose to research a topic from the rainforest. Julia is researching medicinal plants and Izzy is researching the howler monkey. It is a long and exciting process. We started by creating folders to put all of our research in. One of the things you will find in our folders is a Wonder Wheel.
A Wonder Wheel is a wheel of things that we wonder (or want to know) about. These wonders are our guiding questions. We use them when we are researching. Every step of the way we have all learned something new.
A howler monkey has a body that is two feet long and a tail that is two feet long, too.
Medicine from the medicinal plants in the rainforest are used all over the world to cure people from diseases like cancer.
We hope you enjoy learning this information about the rainforest.
Stay tuned to Turn To Two for more fun facts about the rainforest...
Sincerely,
Izzy and Julia

I learned something new already! Why do you think the howler monkey's tail is as long as its body?
