Reading to Learn All About Animals With Wings!

The focus in reading acquisition for second graders changes from a reader learning to read in kindergarten and first grade to a reader reading to learn in second grade.  Today, I had second grade students share new learning they had from an awesome nonfiction book, Animals With Wings by Shirley Petersen.

Camren learned, "that some bats can be about the size of a bumblebee."

Kayla learned, "that penguins have fur on their body and they can not fly like birds."

Austin learned, "ducks can fly."

Nathan learned, "robins can fly away when the weather gets cold."

Hunter learned, "penguins use their wings to swim."
