Non-Fiction Writing

Last week we were working on Non-Fiction writing. I read the kids a short book about Tree Frogs. Then we made a thinking map about what we had learned. (which I totally forgot to take a picture of...oops!)We started with the title page of our books.

Then we created 3 pages for our book. 1. Tree Frogs live in the jungle. 2. Tree Frogs have sticky feet to climb trees. 3. Tree Frogs eat bugs. The kids told me what to write. I wrote it , and they copied.

The kids loved creating these books so much that this week we are working on a new one (Ladybugs). This time they are writing everything on their own.
