According to "Wikipedia," here are some different types of non-fiction texts.


Specific types of non-fiction texts







Reading

We will be summarizing different non-fiction texts like newspaper and textbook articles. 

Writing

Now that we're back at school, start to think about what you are interested in learning about.  Brainstorm some "hot" topics that you may want to later use for your writing.



At school, you will be writing a paragraph about...

Your Favourite Object/Hobby




Math

How many times in a day do you solve a math problem?

From setting your alarm clock in the morning to sharing a pizza with your family for dinner, you are always working with math.

We will focus on Number Sense to start the year.  This includes:

-estimation

-place value


-reading and writing large numbers


 -reviewing the basic operations




At-Home Links

1. Look around your home for non-fiction texts.  What do you find?

2. Continue to think about the following amounts and real-life situations for each:

-tens 10s (ex. counting kids in a class)
-hundreds 100s (ex. beads on a necklace)
-thousands 1,000s or 10,000s or 100,000s (ex. steps taken from home to school in a week)
-millions 1,000,000s (ex. people in a country)

*Discuss with your family!
