Here's what's Happening in Second Grade!
We wrapped up our animal research last week and the kids were able to publish the final draft of their research paragraph. On Monday, we will display and share our writing with a gallery walk. Our next writing piece that we are going to tackle is opinion writing. This week we will be reading the book Hey Little Ant and the kids will have an opportunity to form an opinion and respond to the text.
Our main story for the week is Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea Beaty. We'll be taking a look at how rhyme adds rhythm to a story. We'll also be reading a nonfiction reader about Amelia Earhart and comparing the two texts. We'll wrap up our week with a fun activity that focuses on engineering and seeing things in new and creative ways.
