Over the next few weeks we will be exploring the "big ideas" in nonfiction text. Books about science, nature and animals lend themselves to this genre. Students will gather information and find the main idea by using text structures and features.
This focus will go nicely with our new science unit, "Animals Two by Two". Students will learn about snails, worms (my favorite), isopods and fish. Please consider taking a trip to the library to borrow nonfiction books about these animals.
I am sending home an extended high frequency word list today. This list should take us through to June. I can't believe I'm talking about the end of the year!
More to come later in the week,
Melanie
