Nocturnal Animals

Today we finished another book! We have been researching nocturnal animals since last week. I was glad to know the kids had a LOT of knowledge about these animals already. We had a lot of great schema from Kindergarten, books, and family! We've been using PebbleGo and different library books to research these animals. We found lots of interesting facts! Who knew that bats could live to be 30 years old? Or that opossums had 20 babies in a litter? First Grade never ceases to amaze me. :) We are still doing a great job learning our nonfiction text features (glossary, table of contents, labels, etc) and researching to write stories! As always, I'm very proud of our firsties. We'll be working on Thanksgiving things for the rest of the week!
