Well, we finally finished testing and we were all ready for some actual LEARNING! Imagine that! Learning in school!!! Rather than just sitting still all day and bubbling, bubbling, and more bubbling. In the lines, of course. Because that's the most important thing in second grade. And the world.
We have been working on Hope King's Patricia Polacco Author Spotlight Unit. LOVE it!!!!
I hid facts about Patricia Polacco under the kiddo's chairs in the morning...
They had to go find them.
This was a fun way to learn some interesting facts about her. Then we added them to this poster:
To create this:
We watched a Storyline Online of My Rotten Red Headed Older Brother.
And we reviewed character traits and created these cuties:
Now I'm looking forward to a THREE day weekend!!!!!
Hope you had a great week!!!!!
:)
What? How did I miss So You Think You Can Dance?! I better see what my DVR is up to. (Congrats on surviving the testing!)

I love the idea of hiding facts under their chairs, brilliant! I'm pinning that now so I don't forget it, and can use it next year. I'm glad you're done with testing!
