Learning About Topic Sentences

We have learned a lot about information writing in kindergarten.  First, we learned that information writing includes facts.  Our goal is to write three facts about a particular topic.  Next we learned that a topic sentence is necessary for a reader to know what the author is writing about.  

One of the activities we did was to think about something we know a lot about.  Students then partnered up with a buddy who had the same interest.  Then the partners wrote a topic sentence.

Look at our hard work:

Next we'll add three sentences with facts about our topic to our topic sentences.
