Our first graders have been working on nonfiction reading and writing. They have been reading "just right" books and learning about everything from pandas and penguins to weather systems and rainforests. First graders have also brainstormed ideas for a nonfiction chapter book that will include 3-4 chapters, a table of contents, and diagrams. Once finished, our writers will teach us about reptiles, space, tornados, Scooby-Doo, and how to be a good friend, just to name a few topics. We are so excited to watch this process unfold as students learn how to edit, illustrate, and publish their books. Look out for these nonfiction works in our own Crestview library when we are finished!
