3rd Quarter Writing Unit: How to Books
We have emptied out our writing folders as we finished up the narrative writing unit. We will now be focusing on How to Books. We have begun to explore how to books and notice how authors write How To books. We also went through the steps of building a snowman to write a class book on How to Build a Snowman. During this unit we will be brainstorming ideas for our books: Things we know how to DO, MAKE, AND BE! Talk with your child about things they can write about! When doing activities at home (getting dressed, brushing teeth, playing a game etc.), you can talk about the steps you took to do that activity. We will be talking about transition words: First, second, next, last etc and how those words help us teach the reader exactly what to do! We will also be reinforcing using sight words, spaces between our words, starting with a capital letter and ending with punctuation.
Informational Books (Non Fiction)
To go along with our How to Books, we will also be reading many informational books.We will be practicing comparing and contrasting informational books, talking about the facts we have learned from reading these books and noticing how informational books are written (they include facts, headings, diagrams with labels, maps etc.) When reading informational books at home, talk with your child about what they have learned and noticed about the books
