Students go more in-depth with genre studies


We had a great day, especially considering today is Halloween and children were very excited!

We started with a review of odd/even numbers, and some counting by fives practice this morning.

We spent a lot of time with genres today!  We took old book order forms I had, and cut out certain books.  Then we labeled each section of a large piece of paper with a different genre.  Nonfiction gave us no trouble.  But when it came to fiction, we had a lot of discussion.  Because we had to decide if it was realistic fiction, fantasy, science fiction, etc.  They seemed to catch on pretty quickly, once we reviewed the description of the different types

We also researched how to prepare apple seeds for planting.  It is difficult but we started the process.  Of course, we enjoyed an apple in order to get the seeds.

Have a safe evening!
