Our grade two ELL team has been working on learning how to read nonfiction texts and acquiring vocabulary about some of the geographical features of three communities in different regions of Canada. When approaching nonfiction texts, we found out that it is important to read titles, headings, captions, and text boxes and to look at the photos and images. Another important step is to stop ourselves after a few sentences to check our understanding by trying to put it in our own words. In our conversations about our learning, we have continued on our grammar focus of paying attention to plurals and making sure our subjects and verbs match when using the present tense.
Thank you for your hard work students and teachers! - ELL Team Comments are closed.
