Mission
Congratulations! You have been selected to become a park ranger for the day. Go to the Kids Yellowstone National Park website and check out all the animals. Study them closely because you will be using them later. 1. First you must look closely at the website. 2. Next, pick your favorite letter and look again at the picture of that animal. 3. Then, using your crayons and paper, first write the letter you picked on the top of your paper. 4. After you write the letter, draw a picture of that animal. Be sure the animal looks like the picture on the website. 5. Once you are done drawing the animal from the website tell me the name of the animal so that I can write it down below. 6. Once you are all done with the picture, I will take it and post it on my website so that other students like you can look at it. |
