Nonfiction

This trimester we are very focused on informational nonfiction reading and writing as well as doing some whole class research. A major focus since returning from break has been learning about text features (such as headings, labels, diagrams, maps, captions, photographs, table of contents, index, glossary, bold words...). Last week kids looked for text features in books with their table groups. Here are photos of kids doing a "scavenger hunt" this week to find and identify text features in big copy of the Time for Kids magazine.
