Happy Saturday!

My students just finished our 9 week unit on nonfiction text and the kids had the best time with this genre! They had the best time being and author of their classmates biographies and writing about their classmates.

We used this organizational tool to take notes and then used this to write about their friends.

Nonfiction Note Taking

Hi everyone! This is Lynda from Curls and a Smile!

We have been taking a close look at nonfiction text and all the wonderful ways to take information from what we read to build our understanding of the world around us. The students are in L.O.V.E. with reading these exciting and interesting text and as we know good readers build strong writers! So, here is a great way to gather information as they read and develop their brainstorming and note taking techniques and prepare to write all of their favorite topics!!

The students conducted their own research using a variety of nonfiction texts that go along with what they read in their reading series and science textbooks.
