Just the Facts, Kid!
During our week long exploration of nonfiction we explored the world of biography, history and science- based literature. Some highlights included self-timelines created by each child, exploration of the childhood stories of authors, reading about physics and creating and using simple machines including ramp, pulley, gears, catapult, hot air balloon.
Our favorite day included exploring through google maps and National Geographic to see South America (rainforest) and creating a collaborative book on the honeybear, also known as kinkajou.
We also took another web trip to explore a coral reef and created a collaborative mural together using foods.
