Just before Thanksgiving, both third and fourth graders began their units on nonfiction in language arts. In addition to reading examples of nonfiction books on various topics, students have been writing their own informational papers and feature articles.
Ms. Ricter and Ms. Ricketson supported this unit with a lesson on research resources in the library. Students learned about the importance of seeking out reliable sources when searching online. They were also taught how to gather information from four of our district databases and take notes in their own words using the new split screen function the iPad.
Take a look at some pictures of students hard at work on their research below!
