About our Projects • We found a strange insect while we were working in the Goodnoe

Garden and wanted to know if it should stay in the garden or if it needed to leave.

• We looked in nonfiction books and on the internet to help us decide. We took notes to keep track of what we read.

• After we finished our research, we reached a conclusion about if the insect we found could stay in the garden or if it had to leave. You can ask us later what we decided.

• We made many projects with the information we learned. One of them is a power point presentation we will present in a few minutes. Later we will share our research reports, diagrams, riddles, poems, and models with you too.

• We are glad you are here and hope you learn a lot about insects today.
