Informational Writing in Kindergarten

Miss Antida has been busy reading non-fiction animal books to the keiki in preparation for our huaka’i to the zoo on Friday. As she reads the students take notes on four aspects of the selected animal: physical characteristics, habitat, food and communication. It was truly amazing to watch the children sit with boards and post-its, drawing and writing words they heard her reading to them. They will choose one of the animals and do further observations and notes at the zoo. This will then be used to write an informational piece next week in school.
