Read-A-Thon!

Our second graders have had quite the day. They brought in books and blankets and towels and have loved setting up reading spots around the room. They have shared books and magazines with partners, used voices to act as a character, and enjoyed seeing books their friends brought.

We also invited the first graders to our room today to show them our non-fiction posters. These second graders have been working hard on researching a topic and finding interesting facts. They were able to take notes on what they learned – and presented each of their topics today. The first graders were able to learn about dogs, famous people, basketball, space, dinosaurs, sharks, gymnastics, and storms. Keep working hard!!

Writing Celebration!

Our second graders have worked INCREDIBLY hard to complete their informational books to teach others about a specific topic.  They included many facts, text features ( diagrams, how to’s, labels, captions, glossaries, table of contents and many more), and used a wonderful “teaching” voice.    We were able to celebrate with Mrs. Kuieck’s class and share all of our learnings.   I am so proud of all of our writers! Keep up the great work! 🙂
