Second Grade, Writing, Set Four

From Writing Hangups:

• Cup Composition page 21 -- I made covers out of paper for yogurt cups. K. wrote a message for each of us on the paper, then we taped them onto the cups.
• Posted Poetry page 43 -- K. wrote a four line poem about flowers. She is in the process of putting sticky letters on construction paper. I picked up four paint stirrers for the sticks and we will put the signs in our garden.
• Flagged Facts page 28 -- K. wrote five facts about Sir Walter Raleigh (who we are studying in history) on flags and glued them on a string, which we hung on the bulletin board.

• Lively Labels page 32 -- we made blank labels for three cans and then K. made labels for foods she made up.
• Banner Banter page 6 -- my sister is visiting next week, so we made a banner to welcome her.

We worked on a poster to advertise a book, using some of the propaganda techniques we've been learning about in Reading.

From Cursive Writing made Easy and Fun:

• Continuous Line Doodles -- K.'s control has improved since the last time we did this and she enjoyed it more.
