Nonfiction Research

I am so excited that we have been working on our Nonfiction Unit in reading.  We have recently been working on researching nonfiction topics and have been working with a buddy to research a specific nonfiction topic from a tub of books.  We have researched and already taught one topic to another group.  We have just begun a new topic this past week and are about to begin teaching that research topic to our friends.  I hope you enjoy.  Ask your kids what they have learned about their topics. :)

Madison researching Abraham Lincoln.

Joe & Lee researching Snakes together. 

Brendan & Drake researching Sharks.

Leah teaching some facts about her topic "Animal Homes" using her "jotting" she wrote down while researching.

Two groups teaching each other about their topics.

Elijah & Russell exploring their NEW topics today (Sharks).

Sophia and Karlye researching about Polar Animals.

Hank and Lee looking at the famous Americans basket. Hank was thrilled to see a famous American he already knew about....Louis Pasteur.

Drake & Genavieve researching America.

Madison & Brendan researching snakes & frogs.

Emma & Timothy research about the ocean.

I love how Destiny P., and Sam are really doing a great job working together to come up with a cool fact about whales/dolphins for their fact recording sheet.
