094. "Active Nonfiction Centers" with Kristina Presley

Guest: Kristina Presley, K-5 librarian From: St. Louis County Missouri Grade(s) Taught: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Resources: Active Non-Fiction Centers: Melissa Stewart's book 5 Kinds of Nonfiction: Enriching Reading and Writing Instruction with Children's Books is a book I utilize to teach my students about non-fiction. Each week we dive into one of the 5 kinds of non-fiction. On the week we focus on active non-fiction we have centers that students can participate in. At each center I have active non-fiction books and supplies needed to carry out whatever that center focuses on.  https://canva.link/59ucpr6wvgp3wg7  https://canva.link/ypi92roovketjoh Book Break: The Astral Library by Kate Quinn The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next #1) by Jasper Fforde Where to find Kristina Presley: Handle: MrsPresleysLibrary (Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook) I can most regularly be found on: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrspresleyslibrary/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrspresleyslibrary Other Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/MrsPresleysLibrary Check in with us, and check us out!
