Introduction to
Creating Community through Passing Knowledge
Hello parents and students! This last literature unit is going to be a fun one for our class!
During this unit the students will be learning how to write how-to books as well as all-about books. We will also be tackling the reading strategy of pulling out important information.
The students will be exploring the features of non-fiction books, like the glossary, table of contents, headings, etc.
In our Writing workshop we will be working on a service learning project for the kindergartners. The student’s will go into the kindergarten class, talk to a kindergartner, and see what he/she wants to know about first grade. With this information in mind, the students will then create a page of a book that we will give to the kindergartners titled: Everything you Need to Know About First Grade! At the end of the unit we will have a small presentation ceremony that parents and families are encouraged to attend!
Good Luck!
Non-fiction is a huge unit for us, but we anticipate it to be a great one!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or fresh ideas!
Please be looking for something in your child’s folder explaining in more detail about the service learning celebration!
I have printed out copies of the information on the above linked web sites, please let me know if you would like them!
