Reading to become experts

The students continue to work on reading various types of non-fiction (books, magazines, websites) to gather information around a topic. Students will be presenting their google presentations next week and teach their classmates. This brings in the speaking and listening component also which is great. The students are working so hard and doing a really nice job creating their presentations.

Students are also doing other non-fiction reading in addition to their research project. Other topics include: families, landforms, gardens, insects, and more.

We continue to work on fiction skills during read-alouds and through discussions.
