Happy Wednesday Families!  Today was a very very busy day.  We started our day with 2 rounds of Daily 5.  After this we talked about different text structures in books.  We looked at a variety of fiction and non-fiction books.  We learned that fiction books are kind of like humans: different on the outside but the same on the inside.  All fiction stories have a beginning, middle and an end.  Then we looked at non-fiction text.  We learned that there are many different types of non-fiction books.  Today we specifically talked about Descriptive Writing.  During Writer's Workshop we divided our page into 4, chose a non-fiction topic and wrote 4 facts about that topic.  We had to discuss the difference between a fact and an opinion.

We had music today and then after lunch we did making words.  We focused on the families at and ate.  We made a word with 7 letters.  Ask your child if they remember what this word is and how to spell it.

Today in math we learned how to make double digit numbers and add a group of 10 to that number.  Some grade ones were able to do this while others continued to work on adding single digit numbers together.

At the end of the day we continued to talk about our upcoming Social Studies inquiry project.

Have a wonderful evening.
