Non- fiction writing project

Bonjour!
I apologize for the lack of posts lately.  I hope you are all well. I just wanted to inform you  of our upcoming writing project. As part of our curriculum, your child is preparing to write and publish a non- fiction book about an animal.  During this project, your child will follow the writing process and become familiar with research based writing.

The first step is to collect information.  We will begin doing this in school however, I could use your support at home to help enrich our project.  Here is how you can help:

• Firstly, ask your child which animal he/she is researching.  (Students will be working in groups of 3 or 4.)
• Browse the Internet and print off relevant information and photos.
• Visit our local libraries to find books on the animal your child is researching.
• Read aloud these books to your child, highlighting key information.
• Watch special t.v. shows pertaining to your child's animal.
• Share your personal knowledge.

I appreciate your support and I would encourage you to begin as soon as possible.  This is a 3 week project. 

Thanks for your support!
Take care of each other,
Madame Carolyn
