Functional Writing

We are continuing to learn about Functional Writing. (writing that tells 'How to do something') Yesterday, we all learned step by step how to draw a simple turkey. Today in writers workshop, we wrote a functional piece explaining how we drew them. We entitled our work "How to Draw a Turkey". Here are some pictures of our great writing!

Functional Writing

This week we began learning about a new genre of writing called "Functional Writing". Functional writing tells the reader how to do something. Yesterday, we all learned step by step how to draw a cat face and we all drew a cat face together. Today, we wrote a functional piece entitled "How to Draw a Cat Face". We wrote out the step by step directions explaining how we made our drawing. We made sure to include lots of transition words (like: first, next, then, after that etc...). Here are some pictures that show our work today.

Our Field Trip to the Zoo

We had a great time at the zoo, and were blessed with perfect weather! We started our day by going to the educational center at the zoo. There, a zoo classroom teacher talked to us about animal life cycles and we were able to see some cool animals up-close. We were even able to touch some animals if we wanted. Some of us touched a snake, bird, bearded dragon, chinchilla, and ostrich egg. After our classroom visit, we ate lunch, then spent the rest of our time walking around the zoo. Here are some pictures of our fun day.
