As we inquire about force, motion, and simple machines during our current unit of inquiry, we are also exploring non-fiction text. We are reading non-fiction books during our reading block and talking about how the non-fiction text features help us understand the topic and learn more about it. Your children should be able to identify the following features; table of contents, captions, photographs, glossary, index, charts, maps, bold headings, and labels. They should also be able to explain what most of them are. During writing we are working on Writing Like a Scientist We are focusing on the scientific method. The students are very excited about all of the fun experiments they get to do during this unit.
