LEARN SOMETHING NEW
Knowledge Journal
Using your keyword searching skills, look up something that you're interested in each day. In your own words, summarize the facts that you have learned in a journal. Create an illustration to go with it. Be sure to include the title of the website and the URL (website address) you read. Or use a nonfiction book for your journal. Be sure to include the title & author of the book where you found the facts.
PS: National Geographic for Kids or DK Find Out would be great websites to use for the journal!
