This week in the library, first graders began to explore the difference between fiction and non fiction books. The students were able to generate some excellent examples of topics for each category including volcanoes, scorpions and whales (non-fiction) and Barbie, talking frogs and Frosty the Snowman (fiction). We shared three short books today in the non-fiction category and from the Scholastic series, “Who Would Win?”. These books are perfectly leveled for beginning readers with small amounts of factual text and vivid illustrations. Our choices today included, “Lion Vs. Tiger” and “Polar Vs. Grizzly Bear.”
We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Happy Reading!
