Today we got the chance to share books with our 4th grade buddies! The kids selected books that they have enjoyed thus far into the school year and shared them with each other.
First graders are starting to learn sharing their opinions through writing. We have read several books that demonstrate a characters opinion and reasons supporting their opinion. Today we read Nothing Like Puffin where the character tries to compare puffins to various objects to support their thinking that "there is nothing like a puffin". Students tried their hand at writing in this style today! They picked a favorite animal and gave supporting reasons why their animal was nothing like a puffin. Some even discovered that their animal had some things in common with puffins!
