Arctic Animals

Starting this Monday during early release days we will be starting to study nonfiction and fiction texts around Arctic animals.  This will be done as a Learning Lane, multi age grouping activity.  Each grade level in Learning Lane will be studying a different animal.  In the kindergarten classroom's they will be learning about seals.  In the 1st grade classroom they will be learning about polar bears, and in the 2nd grade rooms they will be learning about penguins.  In the classrooms working on nonfiction text students will learn about the different parts of a nonfiction book, and then they will reach passages to learn about that Arctic animal.  In the other classrooms they will be learning about the different parts of fiction text, such as the characters, setting, problem, and solution.  They will also be doing a special activity to go along with that Arctic animal.  Everyone is very excited about learning about this amazing Arctic animals!
