Christy Owen
Final Project
This project goes along with the2nd gradeHarcourt Brace Jovanovich Science Book. I have put together this listof sites to add to my weekly newsletters for my parents and childrento look at together. I have broken the sites into the units in ourbook. Some of the sites we will look at in the classroom along withour other science work. Other sites will just be used as a connectionfrom school to home with our science lessons.
Dear Parents,
Through out the year I will be sending home websites that correlate with the units in our science book. Some of thesites we will visit during class time. Many of the other sites willbe for you and your child to visit at your convenience. I do suggestparents look at these sites with their child. I have previewed allthe web sites that will be sent home during the course of the year.Enjoy looking at the great web sites for science relatedtopics.
