Let's "Taco" Bout Summer!

Who's ready for summer? We have three more days until summer vacation!!! Yay!!! This board was done by my friend and fellow second grade teacher, Mrs. Melissa Howard. It's too creative to not post. Check it out!

Don't you just love the use of commas in this sentence? Very Yummy!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess!!!

Theodor Seuss Geisel was by far one of the most creative Geniuses of his time! Without a doubt! His birthday is one of my favorite days of the year. We all dressed up as Thing 1 or Thing 2 and listened to his stories all day. What makes a Dr. Suess story sound even better? Having your mom or dad read it to the class.

Which book was our favorite?

We followed up our story time by writing about our favorite Dr. Suess book. I think they did a great job! After all that work we needed a Suessy Snack!

Days like these are excellent opportunities to include families and friends. Mr. John, Mrs. Paige, and Preston made this day extra special for us. I think they enjoyed it too!

Shape Robots

We are studying geometry. My second graders had a lot of fun with this shape robot project. We used our geometric shapes to create a robot. They drew their robots, added a background, and then wrote a story.

Step 1:  First, we used geometric shapes to create our robot.

Step 2: We drew the robot on our recording form. 



Step 3: We named our robot friend and wrote a story.

 

Step 4: We told our story using the "Author's Chair". 

This is what my young friend's work looked like! Fabulous!
