Mrs. Johnson and Miss Kale led a fun ELA review session last week! Students traveled between classrooms performing ELA tasks that would help them recall concepts they’ve learned all year. During the activity they were faced with roadblocks that required them to perform either brainstorming or physical activities. Some of those activities involved writing, rock, paper, scissors with a staff member, ELA hopscotch, and delivering thank you notes where directed. The review session helped students to feel more confident in applying ELA concepts to real situations, and they had a lot of fun!

Mrs. Collins' second graders are writing personal narratives this week! They chose an idea and created stories with a catchy beginning, then added details, time, and dialogue. Next, they became student editors as they read their classmates stories, corrected spelling, grammar, and made content suggestions. Finally, their stories were "published", and it was time to share them with their friends!
