Information Writing

We began a new unit of study for writing this week which focuses on non-fiction information writing. The students will begin by using what they learned during "Small Moment" narrative writing, to write with focus and detail. We will continue to work on revising our writing independently and with the help of a partner. The children will also learn about different ways to structure writing with an introduction and conclusion, as well as using some features of non-fiction writing such as headings, labels, and diagrams. Finally, we will continue to work on authors craft, spelling, and punctuation.

Community Field Trips

Our class had two recent walking trips as part of our community study. We visited the Montpelier Police Station and learned about how the police department helps protect and serve our community, and today we went to Bear Pond Books to learn about a merchant in the community. We heard three stories and spent some time browsing at the books. Check it out!
