The first graders have been working hard at reading and writing non-fiction books. They are becoming experts on topics and teaching others through their writing. In writing, they practiced organizing their books using the "table of contents" as a tool. They are reading like writers and writing like expert readers!
During buddies this week, the first graders showed off their reading and writing skills and taught the fourth graders about the topics they have been studying! Afterwards, the fourth graders showed off what they have been studying... owl pellets! They got to see owl's prey, but in skeleton form :)
A HUGE thank you to Amy Tradewell (Keira's mom) for teaching Jr. Achievement! Her first lesson focused on family and community, and encouraged the first graders to think about all of the ways that families and neighborhoods work together. We have a pretty great Room 112 family :)
On Friday, we had our publishing party! The authors got to chew gum while they wrote and finished their non-fiction chapter books. Jack, our favorite four legged friend, also visited and was quite the captive audience :)
