These are all of our websites. There are some websites we haven't checked out yet, too. If you would like to explore some websites for us and tell us how they are, that would be great. All of the sites that we just mentioned are ones we've looked at. Please comment and tell us about some new nonfiction sites.
Thanks for the great list! We are trying to incorporate more on-line reading choices during independent reading so this is most helpful.
ReplyDeleteDear 4th grade class,
ReplyDeleteTHANK you for sharing this wonderful blog post full of resources. Two sites that I used a lot with my students, besides Wonderopolis, is PebbleGo ( I love their biography section) and National Geographic for kids. I hope you continue making great discoveries in your nonfiction unit!
Sincerely,
Ms. Stella Villalba

ReplyDeleteI knew about one of these sites, and recently learned about Wonderopolis as well.
ReplyDeleteStudents, why should I use these sites with the 4th graders I work with? I'd really like to hear from you.
I'm going to be checking out this blog of yours and share it with other 4th grade teachers so expect to hear from some new people from St.Louis hopefully. ;-)

This was really helpful. I am going to introduce these sites to my class because I really want them to read nonfiction and see how much fun reading online can be.
