Dear Families,
This week, Class K-207 will be publishing our third unit in Writing Workshop for our scientific writing pieces. We first looked at leaves and wrote extensively about the leaves that we found. We did this by looking very carefully - like scientists - at what leaves look like, how big they are, what colors the leaves are, etc. We wrote our pieces by labeling first and last letter sounds, writing the words we know (word wall words) and stretching out our words. We then moved on to really looking at plants and did the same scientific study. Well...class K-207 got a little tired of the leaves and plants. In looking for another group of object to write about, we looked no farther than our table toy bins. Now this is fun! So each table really examined - like scientists - five rubber toys - a plane, a house, a car, a bus, a truck and, again, looked and wrote about the objects very scientifically - how many windows, how many wheels, , what color is the object, etc. We are finishing these pieces tomorrow and we would like to invite you to our writing celebration. On Friday morning, during Parents as Enrichment Partners, please join us and take a look at the children's very own science books and our work on the outside bulletin board and in our room. I am looking forward to seeing all of you on Friday morning.
Our next writing unit will be "Small Moments." Keep talking about small moments with the children.
Fondly,
Ms. Graham
