February? Already?

Greetings everyone,
February is here and here's what we're up to...

1.  Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Obery, local area teeth specialists, came to visit our first grade! 
     We talked about healthy foods and healthy hygiene habits.

2.  Quick response--Paper Towel Tube Request has been filled.

3.  Red Claws Game--March 11--Get your tickets ASAP

4.  Learning to read NON-FICTION. 
     -  Get ready to read NF, just like getting ready to read Fiction (title, blurb, picture walk)
     -  Warming up our brains before reading NF. 
                        Ask--What do I already know? (Keep it in mind...)
                        Then Ask--What more do I know now?  

5.  Learning to write ALL ABOUT Books
     -  Choose a topic that 1) you know a lot about   2) you have experience with
     -  Think about your audience and why you are writing
     -  Organize their topics into sections/categories/chapters (Table of Contents)
     -  Develop your facts in each section
