We are learning about non-fiction books and how to use them to find information, specifically about animals. Since the Olympics are happening and part of the grade 2 social studies curriculum includes finding countries of significance on the world map, we are going to be studying the national animals (along with some other things) of countries participating in the Olympics. The kids are pretty excited and are doing very well using text features of non-fiction books to do research. We have written paragraphs together about mammals, reptiles, insects, birds, amphibians and fish. Now it is their turn to write a paragraph about an animal of their choice. You will soon see some information about paragraphs coming home in your child's Read for fun, Write for fun book.
In order to learn the continents and begin to learn about the world, here is a song we have been practicing.
