Fiction/Nonfiction

We will be spending the first 26 days learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet and the correct letter formation for each of the letters.  For each letter of the alphabet, I have chosen a fiction book and a nonfiction book about animals to share with the children.  After reading the 2 books, then the children will draw a picture of the animal and label the animal in their journals.  Today we started with the letter Aa and we read about alligators.  Our fiction book was There's An Alligator Under My Bed by Mercer Mayer and our nonfiction book was Alligatora by Animal Safar. 

 

This is our fictional story!!

 

Here is our nonfiction book.

These are pictures of the children working in their work stations.  We have 3 stations:  1 station is working on letter formation, 1 station is drawing the alligators in their journals, and the last station is drawing a picture of our star student.  Here is a student working on her letter formation with highlighters.
