We are continually working hard in the second grade! We have made so many accomplishments and improvements in all areas it is incredible! Lately, we have concentrated on reading comprehension strategies. Mrs. HB used the stories of Epossumondas to help illustrate how to make text to text and text to self connections. We really enjoyed learning about this crazy character by Colleen Salley! Check out the graph we made to show our favorite Epossumondus book!
We also are learning about how to be drug free during Red Ribbon Week at PHES. We are having a door decorating contest. Check out our fabulous door!
Today, we had a great and fun author come visit our school! He made us laugh and squirm this morning during his presentation. We learned about how many drafts he writes (25-30!) and that it takes him 2-3 years to publish a book! We also learned some fantastic facts about different animals such as slugs, vampire bats, giant squids, and more! We were fortunate enough to run into Mr. Anthony Fredericks during our library time this afternoon! We took a picture with him to remember what a great day we had with him! He writes many teacher books and nonfiction children's books. His most recent book is A is for Anaconda. Check out some of his books the next time you are at the library or bookstore!
