As a culmination of their study of reading nonfiction, first-graders in
Mrs. Ronnie Malave’s and Mrs. Theresa Marino’s class prepared and taught
Mrs. Joan Jacobs’ kindergarteners about their nonfiction books. The
older students spent time reading through their chosen books and
identifying important details, key words, and wonderings to share with
their younger buddies. They marked their books with post-its and notes.
They visited Mrs. Jacob’s classroom and spent time teaching their new
friends about their nonfiction topic. It was a great way for students to
put together all of the strategies and share what they learned during
the unit!
