  2. About our Projects • One day we found a strange insect while we were at Goodnoe. We wanted to find out more about the insect so we looked in nonfiction books and on the internet to learn about it. We took notes to keep track of what we read. • We made many projects with the information we learned. One of them is a power point presentation we will present to you. Later we will share our research reports, diagrams, riddles, trading cards, and models with you too. • We are glad you are here and hope you learn a lot about insects today.
