Nonfiction Fact of the Day!

At the beginning of the year I was trying to figure out how to get my students interested in nonfiction. Then I read about having a fact of the day. I decided to dedicate a small space of my classroom to the fact of the day.

Most of my facts are from the National Geographic Weird but True books. I also find facts on the internet if it is a holiday or I can relate the facts directly to what we are learning in class.

The students are excited to see what the fact is each morning. The fact usually sparks some interesting conversations during snack.
