January was a fun month! We learned about features of non-fiction books while also learning some facts about some interesting animals. We ended the month with our annual Book Fair. Catholic Schools Week is always a fun time and the Book Fair is a very special part of the week.
In keeping with our non-fiction theme for January, we will be learning about biographies in the month of February. We will learn about features of these books and how they are organized in our library. We will explore a few of the very popular, “Who Was….” books and learn about different individuals who have made their mark in history. Specifically, we will learn about the lives of Wilson Bentley (Snowflake Bentley), Florence Nightingale, and Lou Gehrig. We will also do a few fun activities to reinforce our knowledge of these individuals.
Please continue to talk to your children about what they are reading. I was excited to see several of the students making great reading choices at the Book Fair!
