1Mike and Matt are Second Grade Learners!
2Mike and Matt love learning. Their teacher
has asked them to research, or find information,
about the state of Texas.
3Mike and Matt wonder where they could find
information about Texas. They see a poster in
their classroom that has information about Texas.
They decide this would help them.
4Both boys grab their
social studies notebooks.
