Reading Nonfiction

Many of the reading groups are reading nonfiction books. The students love learning new things! We're working on questioning before, during, and after reading. The students are doing great as they're learning to write questions about the books were reading and then asking others to answer their questions. Some students have read about The Everglades. Other students have been reading about butterflies and moths and how they're alike and different. Others have read interesting things about bats. Another group learned about origami. It was a bit tricky to read the directions and make a newspaper hat, but they figured it out! Of course, they shared their their origami skills and other students made hats too!
