This week we will explore the question, “How do you know if something is a fact or an opinion?” We will begin by reading the biography The Dog That Dug for Dinosaurs.

Writing
The students have been working diligently to read and take notes in their research folders about their chosen insect. This week, the students will continue to transfer their notes to draft. The second graders will use headings to organize their reports, choose text features to add, and write paragraphs about the areas of research. Once the drafts are complete, the students will reread their reports to revise and edit them prior to writing their final copy.
