February was filled with learning about biographies and many interesting people. We learned about Wilson Bentley, Florence Nightingale, Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman. We discussed the features of biographies as nonfiction books and also learned about all of these individuals and the mark they left in our history.
In the month of March, we will explore a couple of areas. In the first two weeks we will talk about the life and stories of Dr. Seuss. It is always fun to look into his life and enjoy a few of his uniquely entertaining books! In the last two weeks of the month, we will transition into a few books of Poetry, focusing mainly on Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky. We will look into their use of descriptive words and discuss different types of poetry.
Please talk to your child often about what they are reading. I see many students walking around the school with some really great books! Also, please ask your child if they have books checked out from the Reading Center that need returned. Thank you!
