Non Fiction Reading and Writing

For the month of December we have been reading non fiction books and articles. In reading the children have been reading a wide range of non fiction books and discussing what they learned, questions and wonderings they have with their reading partners.
In writing each student has been focusing on an animal they are researching. They have been reading articles and books to become experts on their animal. Ask your child what animal they are studying and what interesting facts they have learned.
As part of the homework assignment we asked to send in shoe boxes. This week we will be working on projects that go with our animal research. Check back to our blog soon to see pictures of our animal projects!
