This week we will being a nonfiction study about Reindeer (or Caribou as they are known in North America). Today we created our reindeer out of construction paper for our reindeer packet. We will study many different facts about reindeer, for example: both male and females have antlers, they are four-toed to help grip the ice and that's just to name a few we learned today! We will label a reindeer diagram,create a web of facts and list facts of what reindeer "can", "have" and "are".  After we have collected our factual information, we will write what we know about reindeer in a guided narrative. Third trimester we will focus a lot on research writing so this will give them a head start! We will also write a fiction narrative about what they would do if they were a reindeer! At the end of our study we will write a "How-to" list for reindeer food. They will make their own bag of reindeer food to take home with them and sprinkle out before Santa comes! 


This is also the perfect time to have a conversation with your children about respecting others beliefs. It's a sensitive time of year so please remember to respect one another and how you chose to raise your children and families. I know that some do not do Santa or elves, but that being said, be aware that many children believe in Santa and elves so if you chose to do something differently, I ask that help guide your child into not saying anything to upset the other children and vice versa about other beliefs or traditions. Thank you for your help :)
