This week we have immersed ourselves in non-fiction!  Come take a look.

We read a big book together on different animals and how they get their food.  Then we did a little research, using the text to help us record the names of several animals, what they eat, and how they eat their food.  The beginning steps of research.

We read about Martin Luther King, Jr, and put a poem about him into our poetry notebooks.  We also finished our Justice Walk, recording ways we could follow in his footsteps.

In writing, we are making our own teaching books on a topic we are an expert on. This is the chart the kids use, as they move through each step of making a teaching book.  Ask your child about the book they are making.

In science, we learned about camouflage and played a game where we had to find paper moths camouflaged in our classroom.  We talked about the reasons why animals need camouflage.  Ask your child about them.

Today the Kindergartner’s Chinese Dragon visited our classroom.  🙂

Our wonderful builders of the week:

Have a great weekend!  Hope everyone stays healthy.  There has been some sickness traveling around the classroom.  Take good care and have a restful weekend.
