Today the students presented their informational writing on an animal they chose from the forest habitat! They learned how to research using technology (mackinvia, kiddle, kid rex, sand diego zoo kids, national geographic kids) as well as reading nonfiction books about their animal from the library! They made their very own informational books using the knowledge that they gained. Their writing included the nonfiction features that we learned about (diagram, labels, table of contents, etc). The students went through the steps of the writing process. Research (prewriting), drafting, editing, and publishing. Here are some pictures of the students editing their work using an editing checklist. They reread their work to make sure they could read their writing, wrote a letter for each sound they heard, used the word wall to help them, put spaces between words, used lowercase letters, and capitalized the first word of every sentence. Perhaps the most memorable part of the writing process was being able to share and celebrate our work with some HFE staff members that we invited to our living wax museum!!!

Willow loved doing her book and presenting it. She even told me that she should have practiced more. The looks look like they worked so hard on it. Good job, Mrs. Adler!
