We have researched an insect of choice and are now using this research to create our own NARRATIVE NONFICTION story that follows this model. 

Letter to my Grade Three Teacher


Today we wrote a letter to our future Grade Three teacher. We introduced ourselves, explained what we like to learn about, how we learn best, what we hope to learn next year and any questions or things that we are wondering about for next year.
