Nonfiction November Class Contest Winner

Nonfiction November

Did you know that the largest frog is as big as a bunny?  This is what Damian from 2-2 learned when he read a nonfiction book called Frogs.  Damian submitted his fact form for the LMC's Nonfiction November contest. The students at OMS really went wild for nonfiction books.  All of our students combined read 1994 books! Mrs. Jansson's class (2-1) earned the top prize for reading the most nonfiction books.  They read 168 books in the month of November!  


Our students wrote up so many interesting facts to share.  Some of these were read aloud on morning announcements or hung up in the hall on the class tally posters. Here are a few more interesting facts shared by our students:

Hollywood Studios was supposed to be part of Epcot, but it was too big.  -Alyssa in 5-5
Chinook salmon can get up to 5 feet and weigh up to 125 pounds.  -Kacper  in 3-2
