Writing Update

Our second grade writers have been learning how to write a review by using persuasive language.   We have children writing reviews about restaurants, movies, books, fun places to go and games.   We like to think of opinion writing like an OREO:

 

We know that the filling in an OREO is in the middle so we want to include 3 or 4  reasons and examples.

They are doing an awesome job trying to get their reader to think the same way they do!

Edible Landforms!

These scientists reviewed landforms today. We built mountains, plains, plateaus, hills, and foothills. We talked about what each landform looked like. Then, we pretended it rained on our landforms to see what would happen with the rain! The kids did a great job figuring out that the rain would create and run into rivers and streams on the mountain, or fill in the spaces between other objects. Please review landforms tonight with your child! Thanks to all of you who sent in these delicious building materials! We appreciate it! 🙂
