Mice Information Reports

Uenuku is learning how to write information reports. We are learning that information reports have different parts. Today we got into groups and brainstormed information about mice after reading about them. We have found out so many things about mice that we never knew before! Now that we have brainstormed, we will start writing our information reports.
