As a culminating activity to our nonfiction reading unit, students learned about the life of an influential person. They then became that person during our Living Wax Museum.
Room 105 enjoyed hosting Humphrey, the class pet from a second grade class in Stony Brook, NY. Students are excited to start bringing home our very own class pet!
Students learned about how self-confident people act and what they say. With their group, students traced a classmate and wrote phrases and actions to represent self-confidence.
Good readers persevere and have GRIT! Readers learned how “gritty” they are, as they took the Reading Grit Test. They made a plan and shared it with the class on how they will persevere when things get hard as a reader.
In Reader’s Workshop, students are getting to know each other as readers. Students asked their assigned reading partner about their reading life, studying each others reading logs to look for trends and patterns with volume of reading and what genre they tend to read.
