Non-Fiction Writing

Our class has been working very  hard on learning about different types of non-fiction writing.  As part of this they have created several class books.

Our first class book was an All About 2nd Grade book.  After brainstorming all of the important parts of second grade, each child took a section and wrote about what was important to know about that subject or activity.

Our next class book was an ABC book - all about Hickory Hill.  It is currently residing in Mrs. Kunkle's office if you'd like to take a look at what we think is important about Hickory Hill.

Last we wrote a very special true or false book about our classmates.  You'll get to see that book when it comes home with your child at the end of the year!  You'll also get to see a special how to book that we wrote.  It is a surprise that is coming home next week!

This week students are working hard on researching their own subjects to write about.  We have everything from castles to fruit, Michael Jordan to Uranus, and many things in between!  You can help your child do research at home and print out pictures or graphics to include in their books.
