Conclusion: I hope that you learned a lot and found a lot of useful and interesting information as you went.  I would like you now to create a mixture of 2 animal groups mixed together to form an animal of your very own.  Give some thought as to what 2 types of animal groups you would like to incorporate or use and then describe your 'NEW' animal by writing 7 sentences that tells us the different characteristics about your 'nwe' creature and NAME  your creature.  Then illustrate your creature n Microsoft Word or Kid Pix.

Here are web sites to go to after you have handed in your 'NEW' creature along with your 7 sentences stating why it is a reptile AND a bird (an example).
