A new Common Core skill for second grade is research so every Friday, we have been learning how to do research with Mrs. Flanagan. We decided to focus on owls for our first topic and we have learned so many amazing facts in just three short weeks! We have talked about how various nonfiction features like the table of contents, index, glossary, and captions make finding information easier. Today we talked about "summarizing" the authors message and putting it in our own words. This is a tough skill that we will continue to work on all year. In the coming weeks, we will start to do some research online as well as continue to use books. Here are some photos from today's research session!
