Wrapping Up a Fun Second Grade Year!

6/10/2016

 
Second graders ended the year by jamming the same fun we had all year into one week! We began with a awesome field day, continued by cleaning out much of our work from the year, organizing the classrooms for next year's second grade, and finally, moving up to visit the third grade teachers. There was plenty of reflection on what this year held and excitement for what lies ahead. We all agree that this year was very special, and lived each day in second grade to its fullest. Our year was full of learning, fun play on the back field, trips around our community and beyond, and building relationships that will last forever. It is aways emotional to say goodbye, but the second grade teachers are sure that these exceptional students are ready to move on to their next journey. Have a great summer, scholars! We will see you in September!

Celebrating Our Poetry

6/1/2016

 
Grade 2 enjoyed its last writing celebration of the year this week as families gathered to celebrate all their young writers have accomplished.  In preparation for Tuesday’s celebration, students drafted poems incorporating various “poetry ingredients,” such as repetition, onomatopoeia, and alliteration.  Students then chose, revised, edited, and published two poems to share with an audience.   Children practiced reading their poems aloud to build fluency and confidence.  At our celebration on Tuesday, children read one poem aloud to the group and one privately to their guests.  Afterward, what fun it was to gather as a whole grade on the back field for a picnic with pizza and ice cream treats!  

​Second graders will wrap up their Writing Workshop work for the year by crafting Small Moment stories.  Next week, they will also collaborate with classmates to write a special keepsake collection of poems together, modeled after Margaret Wise Brown’s book, The Important Book.  It is wonderful to reflect on students’ work and to notice how much they have grown as writers this year.
