Today my second grade students tweeted their very first tweet...and they LOVED it! After creating one account for our entire class to use, students couldn't wait to give it a try. We have been working hard in the recent weeks at reading non-fiction texts and identifying things we learn and the evidence that supports it. Today we read a non-fiction text from our Storytown books entitled "The Bees" and listened carefully for facts that were interesting to us. We chose to read a few pages together and then stop to tweet something that we had learned using the hashtag #beefacts. At the end of this non-fiction piece, we had accumulated over 30 tweets all identifying facts about bees! Students love this new way to share what they know!
