Nature's Wonders



       Our literacy workshop began with another look at nonfiction books.  The kids took nonfiction books and used the pictures to figure out what was going on in the book.  As the students partnered up they went through a book about country animals and talked about what the pictures showed.  After looking through the pictures, the students read the book "Country Animals" using what they learned from the pictures to help them read the book.
       It was a beautiful day.  After a long cold winter the sun has found us again and flowers are blooming.  To celebrate the wonderful weather the kids took to the outdoors to write.  They drew what they saw, and then wrote about it.  Everyone found a spot to sit and enjoy some flowers. We saw our students describe the lovely flowers.  They came up to us excitedly to show the spaces they were using between their words.  Watching kindergarten kids write about nature is beautiful as well.
