This week in Kindergarten the classes have started to dive into the concept of Fiction versus Non-Fiction. They compared and contrasted the difference between the two forms of literature and how the books look to the writing inside. They noticed that Fiction books have illustrations and Non-Fiction books have actual photographs, and that Fiction books are stories and Non-Fiction books are written in facts that they can learn from. They also started to take the challenge of writing a Non-fiction book at Writing Workshop. They had to pick a topic that they knew a lot about and write some facts that they can teach the class at a classroom discussion.
