Researcher’s Workshop

My little firsties have been rainforest researches this week.  The students voted for their research topic and were then given a researching partner and a rainforest creature to study.  We have been reading and responding to nonfiction in reading throughout the year.  Last week, we discussed how to react to the information we learned from text and synthesize our learning. This week, they've been diligently reading, writing, talking, drawing, and investigating throughout the course of this week.  They are currently creating posters that will teach others about their rainforest topic.  Take a look at our researcher's workshop...
