Science and Writing: Deer

To wrap up our non-fiction/informational writing unit we learned about Deer.  At the Science Station boys and girls explored deer antlers and deer droppings (in a container!).  During writing time we read a non-fiction book about deer and took notes.  From these notes authors wrote facts about deer.  Everyone loved this unit and our writing is definitely improving!
