The second grade students have started a new unit in reading. It is called Nature Walk. We are reading many stories about nature and the things you find in it.
We have taken a nice walk around our playground to collect samples of leaves and other items found outside. We tried to walk as silently as we could to hear the natural sounds of animals, plants in the wind, and crunching leaves.
Along with the nature stories in our anthology, we have been learning about spiders, bats, and other creatures in the wild. We compare the fiction and non-fiction characters. We have also been talking about the difference between fact and opinion.
Try taking a nature walk of your own. It's easy to do in a park, on a trail, or in your own backyard!
