I look forward to reading more from this blog. I teach first grade and group all my books by topic, fiction and nonfiction books on the same topic within the same box. So for example, when we study frogs, I have Frog and Toad books along with my nonfiction text. I also place the weekly readers on that topic and place a list of united streaming videos I've used on the back of the box label. It keeps me organized and my students learning!
ReplyDeleteDuring an organism study with a focus on plants, I read the book Tops & Bottoms. Then I used I used several non-ficiton books to show the student that we eat plant roots, and other other vegetables that grow on top like cabbage. This made the story meaningful for the children. Do you have any suggestions for video clips I could use with this book?
