January 26 to January 30

This Week in Mrs. Wegner's Class


Tuesday January, 27th    Family Literacy Day—Dress up as your favourite character


Friday January 30th    No School for students,   Professional Activity Day



Homework Assignment  

Most of what we read is informational (newspapers, magazines, cook books, instructions, maps, forms,  text books, on-line information,)  It is important to help our students understand how informational texts differ from fictional stories and teach them how to understand the set up and features of informational (non fiction) texts.

We have completed our studies of informational texts.  Please take time to have your child share his/her book about Informational Texts.

Then.......

Make an Informational Book


1.  Choose plant or animal that you would like to learn more about.

2. What would you like to know about this plant or animal?  Find information to answer your questions about this plant or animal.

3.  Make an informational book by writing one fact on each page of the booklet provided.  Try to include 4 or 5 features in your book ( photo and caption, labels, table of contents, sidebar, map, bold print, glossary, chart).  You can use clip art or pictures downloaded from the computer or draw your own.

4. Bring your book to school to share with the class.


I hope that you enjoy working on this activity with your child.
