Non-Fiction Books

Dear Mom and Dad:

These are our new words for the week:

Grade 1: down, find, for, funny, go

Grade 2: best, both, call, cold, does

Please go over these words with me. I should be able to find these words in books and the environment and spell the words as well.

We finished up our “All About Me” books. They are looking great! We are making sure that we are using neat printing and staying in the lines. We also talked about how the pictures should match the words and that our illustrations should be Big, Bold and Bright.

Today we got into groups and read a some non-fiction books. We had to find out what we notice is the same and different from non-fiction books versus fiction books. We will need to be able to understand non-fiction books as we move into our inquiry about arctic animals.

Question of the day: What are some features that your discovered about non-fiction books?

Love,

The Rainbow Triad
