Nonfiction Books!!

In our reading workshop this week, we started learning about nonfiction books. Oh my mercy do we LOVE nonfiction books. :) We have learned sooo much already, and we are just getting started! Ask your little sweeties about all the different features we learned about this week and how they help us read and understand nonfiction books better :) So far, we have learned about the table of contents, photographs, picture captions, the glossary, index, graphs, diagrams, and different types of print.
My little firsties have been so excited to share all the new information they have been learning during independent reading. So cute...and it makes for one happy teacher to see so much reading going on! :)
Kristos found a very cool book on the planet Venus

Cannon learning all about one of our country's symbols...The Statue of Liberty

Zari found a book about farm animals

Brooks found a really cool book about ocean animals

Look! Breanna found a GREAT table of contents to share with the class!

Cannon found one too! He is ready to pick a reading target.

Steven found a very cool table of contents that had pictures to go with it!
Watch out! Kaylie Grace is learning ALL about sharks!! Look at those picture captions :)


Here are a few pictures from our first time exploring nonfiction books. They definitely had their sweet little noses stuck in these books...this makes for one happy teacher too :)
The green group taking it all in :)

Look at that dedication!

Such good readers!

Great reading Sam!

This is one of my favorite things to teach during our reading workshop. We have so much fun and learn so many new things! We are going to learn how to do some research next week. I can't wait! So much fun!!
