Story Elements

In reading workshop we are working on story elements.  Today we discussed the character (RL 2.3) of a story and their appearance.  We read the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes and made a chart of Chrysanthemum's appearance traits.  Tomorrow we will discuss a character's traits on the inside.  We are learning that characters have inside and outside traits.

Musical Chairs and Fun with Friends!

We are working really hard on establishing a caring community of learners!  We make sure to have fun together each day.  As part of our morning meeting we played Musical Chairs.  We had such a great day of learning we earned extra time outside to play with our friends!  2nd graders are the BEST!!!

Morning Meeting Activity!  Musical Chairs ~ it was a blast!

Reading Workshop

We have been busy during reading workshop learning what good readers do.  Readers have thoughts about what they are reading.  We have discussed it may be a connection or a favorite part.   It is always important to get our brains ready to read!  Yesterday we practiced Read to Someone and they all did a great job!

We have AMAZING readers!!!
