On Friday we started something exciting - reading with fourth grade reading buddies! Every Friday we will meet with Mrs. Mutschler's fourth grade class to read with our reading buddies. Here are a few pictures of some of the kids. I'll get more next week :)
In writing we have been working on writing How To's. The kids have come up with some great topics that they are experts in and can teach us about. Over the course of the next several weeks the kids will be working on writing their stories and typing them up on the computers.
In reading the kids are immersing themselves into non-fiction books and loving it. It has been so exciting watching the kids get into their books and sharing them with their classmates. We are learning how to read non-fiction books as well as discussing the many text features we see in non-fiction books such as: table of contents, captions, glossary, close-ups, etc. The kids have all wanted to share what they have learned and discovered with their classmates so we are finding time for them to do this. We will continue with non-fiction for the next couple weeks.
I sent a book order home on Friday and they will be due this week Friday. Please let me know if you have any questions!
I hope you all have a great week!
