In the 7-year-old class, we are currently learning about informational text. Students have learned about different text and graphics features such as bold and highlighted words, photographs, and headings. They are writing their first informational paragraph, which includes the main idea, three details, and a conclusion sentence! We are closing up our geography unit and have learned about maps, map skills, map grids, using a compass rose and intermediate directions. They are now working on creating a landform and region book as well as a 3D representation of a region.
