Tornado Notes Day 1 We will be preparing to do informative writing (a first grade requirement). You will need some paper and pencil. We will do these notes together in "real" time.

Optional Extension: Go to the drop down page titled "Extensions". There are a lot of journal prompts for your child. This type of writing can be done the entire school year. Have your child choose a topic and write while you set a timer for 10 minutes. They should write on the same topic for the entire 10 minutes. Encourage them to fill an entire page and remind them to add as much detail as they can.
