Thanksgiving Feast

     Monday, the second graders will be having a Thanksgiving feast.  We will make Pilgrim hats or Native American headdresses, bake cornbread and celebrate all we are thankful for with Ms. Cotter's class.  It's going to be crazy fun and everyone is looking forward to it.

     This week, we spent quite some time working on narrative writing.  Students learned about small moment, seed stories, and applied it to their  writing. They brainstormed ideas, created an organizer for their story, and wrote.  Students then revised their stories to ensure it had a bold beginning.  They revised, yet again, adding transition words.  Our stories look great.

     Our mentor text this week was Turk and Runt.  Runt is a smart little turkey who saves his family.

     Some Halloween pictures have been added to edline.  Go check them out if you haven't yet.

     I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday filled with food, fun and family!
