We are working on a big project. We are going to become published authors! Currently, we are researching animals, filling out graphic organizers, and deciding what 3 facts are most important. We are also practicing drawing the animals. Our next step will be for each child to choose an animal to study. Then we will write rough drafts and final drafts. At the end of the project, you will be able to purchase your own hard covered, color copied book. Each child will have a page of writing and a colored illustration. The students are so excited to be published authors and illustrators.
We have been learning about the role of authors in nonfiction texts. Next we will be learning about the illustrator's job.
Remember there is an Early Release Day on Tuesday. Dismissal is at 1:00.
Grades close on Wednesday and Report Cards go home the following Wednesday.
Hope to see you at Math Night!
