Wow! I can't believe that it is October already! I am looking forward to an exciting month starting rocks and minerals and continuing our literacy and numeracy studies!
This morning in literacy we began discussing genre. We sorted and categorized our books into fiction and nonfiction, and expanded into fantasy, mystery and biography. We will be continuing to talk about genre and learn new genres throughout the year. In writing we began talking about fictional narratives. We looked at examples of "hooking" the reader with a good beginning (instead of "shut the book!"). Then we tried our hands at writing a beginning that included a wonder or worry. Tomorrow we will continue with looking at action story beginnings!
Have a wonderful evening!
