Writing Celebration

The final two weeks before break, second graders worked on publishing their favorite small moment story that they had written during the unit. Students edited for punctuation, spelling, and content. Students participated in partner conferences and received feedback from their peers on what they did well and how they could make their writing even better. The children worked so hard to make their writing the best it could be. Great work second graders! 

CHANGE SINGS !

Change Sings is the name of a wonderful book, written by Amanda Gorman and illustrated by Loren Long.  Our classes have read the book and discussed the themes and ideas found inside.  We all have a voice and the power to change the world - if even in little ways - to build kindness, peace, and acceptance.   

It was very exciting today as we got to take part in a LIVE conversation with the author and illustrator!  We joined together with children from all over the school, state, country, and world!  107 countries were represented in the event, and we all really enjoyed our time together!  

When the event ended, each 2nd Grader created their own beautiful piece of art - which when combined with their peers' creations, will create a magnificent display in our hallway.  We'll be sure to share our final product with you all when it's completed.  We're very excited about it.

Reminder:

 Reminder: Tomorrow (Thursday, November 4th) is  a school wide celebration. We invite our students to dress up like their favorite book character! Please no weapons or full face masks. Thank you.
