We were able to work on our Informative Bee writing this week.  My little animal lovers had such a fun time learning and writing all about bees.  After they read the story, “Honey Bees” from Reading Street they were given a graphic organizer to record facts about bees.  I also had students reading a variety of bee books during our small group reading time.  It was during our small group time that I was really able to assist students in filling out their graphic organizers.  Which, of course, I didn’t take a picture of.  It is included in my honey bee informative writing packet though.  Once the students had 6 facts written down they chose their favorite 3 facts and we turned that into a paragraph.  I think my little firsties did a fantastic job.
