How-To Writing

Last week we started a new type of writing! We switched from narrative to informational writing. Writers have been working on How-To stories. There have been How-To stories that talk about how to make toast, a pb & j, plant flowers, ride a skateboard, swim and much more! Currently there are three parts to our How-To writing that we are focusing on. The first is telling what we do in steps, then numbering the steps (making sure they are in order you can't eat a pb & j if it doesn't have any peanut butter or jelly on it!), the last part is making sure their is a picture for each step that is labeled and detailed!



Writers have been BLOWING me AWAY with their writing. We have hit the ground running and have been creating How-To books that are so informative that they are teaching others about things they love! It is so amazing to see! I can't wait to see what else they teach us about!

Some ideas for you to think about at home are talk through daily activities you do everyday at home. Use transitional language such as first, second, next, after, then, finally or last.

I wish you well!
Love,
Miss Brehm

Day TWO!

Day two is truly wonderful! We have so much fun together! Today we started working on our first classroom book and WOW it's going to be AMAZING! So many beautiful illustrators and creative thinkers in this class. Also today we completed our first of many Math and Writing rotations. It's been a busy busy busy day! Now to the fun stuff. It's always said that pictures speak much louder than words and I agree 100%. So here are the pictures from our magnificent day TWO! Right after lunch we went outside to explore our school garden with Nurse Amy! We picked marigold seeds which we are going to plant in our classroom! Check out all the fun we had!  It was a busy day indeed, but so much fun! I can't wait for tomorrow! Love, Miss Brehm

In honor of my momma, Katrina Brehm, I am running a marathon. Crazy, I know. I got it from her. In Mom’s memory, my goal is to raise enough money to send a child to @camptakumta ! Please take a moment to check out the link in my bio and if you’re able to, give any amount. Thank you ☀️
