Reading with 4K Book Buddies and experimenting with Magnets

Team Dream 2nd and 3rd Graders had a great week back from Winter Break!   Here are a few pictures of us during Inquiry time- experimenting with different magnets to see the various strengths/ forces.   

Also, we enjoyed reading to our book buddies!   

Narrative Writing celebration!

Our 2nd and 3rd grade writers published their small- moment narrative stories !   We celebrated by reading our stories to a small group and giving feedback to each other!  We noticed a lot of action, feeling, and dialogue in the narrative pieces!   

Happy Spring!

Even though our weather feels more like its winter, we still are full of warmth and sunshine!  Here are some photos of our awesome second graders working on graphing- with jelly beans, and going on an egg hunt with their 4K buddies!  

Discovery World

What a wonderful field trip we had!   We got to explore Discovery World and see a lot of interesting exhibits:   The aquarium, the bed of nails, a ship, and the technology exhibit!   Take a look at our pictures!   

Discussing our Reading & 'Going Public' with Our Earth Inquiry projects!

Second graders in Room 213 have been working hard on our informational reading and writing!   We started our 'Rug Clubs.'  Students have meaningful conversations within a small group & share new learnings, questions, and interesting information about what they've read!   

We also shared our awesome posters on our Earth topics with other classes!   Some of posters had interesting facts and non-features about glaciers, islands, volcanos, gulfs, rivers, and oceans!  

Come check out our posters in Room 213!  

Writer's Workshop & Readers Theatre

The second graders in Room 213 have been working hard on publishing their narrative stories!   Mr. Kelly helped us by using the  Book Creator app.   We can't wait to share our books with you on iTunes!   

The of our reading groups performed a Readers Theatre this week !   They did an awesome job reading fluently, paying attention to punctuation, and using expression when reading their parts!
