Highlights
We had a non-fiction text
feature search today. We looked for
non-fiction books which had captions, charts, fact boxes, a glossary, graphs, an
index, labeled diagrams, headings, maps, table of contents, etc. We will be learning how to use these
different features to help us understand non-fiction books. In Science, we are doing an experiment to see
what will happen to water in 2 containers.
One container is covered and the other is not. We are measuring the water levels to see what
happens over time.
