Research in Room 7

This week we launched our informative reading and writing units of study! The students have been thrilled to see all of the different things that they can learn from informative texts. A big part of this unit is ownership of learning. Now that students are in second grade they can begin reading to learn. Today we brainstormed different questions or topics that we want to learn about. Some of the questions students had were:

• Who made the alphabet?
• Why do giraffes have such long necks?
• Why do some people have asthma? 
• Who is the best basketball player in the world? 

To see your student's questions check out their blog! 

Next, we will begin researching. We will be using books, magazines, and the internet. The search engine that we will use is called 'KidRex'. This site is designed specifically for kids and does not feature any ads or other adult content. If your child is interested in accessing this site from home the link is below.

Hopefully you will begin hearing lots of interesting new facts at the dinner table!
