Research Project

A few weeks ago we began a new Reading Unit on Nonfiction. We spent time learning about the differences between reading fiction and nonfiction, including some of the different text features. This week, we finally put that knowledge to use! The kids were able to choose their top 3 research choices and I did my best to assign each child their top choice. They worked in small groups to research their topic. Over the course of the week, they were able to gather so much information about their topics! They certainly became experts!!

We wanted a cool way to show off all our hard work so we created our own nonfiction books. Mrs. Nall showed us how to make a book by using a paper bag and all we had to do was fill in our information! I was able to record several students reading their books below. I'm hoping to get everyone finished by next week. Enjoy!
