This week in Room 2!

This week in Room 2, we are beginning Expository Writing in Writer's Workshop! Today, we had our first opportunity to write expository text, after we examined a flower from our school garden with our five senses. My writers blew me away with how quickly the picked up the skill of writing to teach their reader, including sensory details, and observing as scientists! Here are a few snapshots from our first day of expository writing! Stanford Trees should feel so proud of themselves!





Here is Emilio wearing the hard worker hat because he was working SO hard during writing!!!!

Literacy Night Fun!




Thank you so much to everyone who made it to Literacy Night last week! It was such a success. Mrs. Dhillon & I had so much fun leading you through our Morning Meeting with a Greeting, Message, and Activity!
It was so much fun waddling around to greet one another like penguins do, reading our message in English & Spanish,
and learning two new activities to play at home with your child: High Frequency Word Bingo, and Speedy Readers

I had a blast and hope you enjoyed the night as much as I did!
