Informational Writing

Monday was an exciting day! Each student choose a Wisconsin bird to research. I hope by now your son/daughter has shared the Informational Writing Sheet with you. This sheet explains the process of how the writing will be accomplished. My expectations are also listed on the sheet. If you haven't already, please read this sheet and sign it. I want to thank you ahead of time for your support on this writing.

Start bird watching. Yesterday I saw an indigo bunting at our birdfeeder. The songbirds are starting to return, even if the weather is chilly. Since the leaves are not yet on the trees, bird watching is easier.

Keep talking to your child about their informational writing. Take a trip to the public library. We do provide books from our school library, but it's always educational to find our own resouces. I am providing an article from a website as well. Visit www.allaboutbirds.org.
