Hi everyone,

We had a lot of fun this morning and did some good work in our Reading and Language classes. We finished reading our story entitled "Where Does Food Come From?" and filled in the rest of our Know, Want, Learn chart and answered all of the questions we had about food. To follow, we started a writing activity where we write a letter to a friend telling them about one of the foods in our story. The students needed to state the food, write two statements about it, and then ask a question about the main idea (ie. the food). To practice, we wrote a letter together to Ms. Lewandowski on the board.

Dear Ms.Lewandowski, 

I ate cheese with my Grade 1 students. Cheese is made from milk. It is yummy. Do you like cheese?

From, 

Ms. Fisher

For homework, students need to write their own letter on page 34 of their Journeys Reading practice books. Remember, the food needs to be chosen from the story and the letter must include two statements and one question, in that order.
