We are in the beginning stages of our study of non-fiction. Your child is going to have the opportunity to select a report topic. Prior to their picking the topic, we wanted to expose them to the wonderful world around us. Frequenlty, children want to write reports on what they are familiar with. We want the children to write their reports on a topic they are unfamiliar with. We have been visiting the media center, and have looked at
www.nationalgeographic.com/animals and have had a wonderful time learning about new topics we didn't know existed.
We have discussed large topics like bears(eyes wide open) and narrowing the topic down to sun bear(eyes barely open).
Please take this opportunity to explore the world with your child and expose them to a landform, person, invention, or an animal that they didn't know existed. ( It doesn't have to be from that list)
We will begin writing in class soon!

Dear Mrs.Constande,I love the format of the reports that we are going to be writing in.But I have a question.How long are the reports going to be?
Love Ferney :] ;]
Kristen and Ferney,
I am so glad that you are excited to do your reports! That makes me so happy!
Ferney,
Your report has to be long enough to answer the four core questions and then the questions you want to add to make your report interesting.
Mrs. C.
