Super Stars!

This was our first writing project for the year. Believe it or not it was Easy-Peasy! The kiddos jumped right in to writing about their best friend. The board is just so PRETTY! However, I am teaching two ELA classes this year with a total of 43 students. This means there were 43 of these posters taped down our wall!....If I'm not careful I may become known as the "wall hog".

How about this cute fellow? Talk about detail!.....This guy looks like the real Landon....every detail! And this sweetie is just too precious! I love the vocabulary and structure used in their writing.                         

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!
