What a week! We had an awesome week here in second grade! The sixth week of our reading units is a time to assess the skills that have been learned over the past 5 weeks. It is also a great time to do fun, engaging projects as well! The kids loved picking a state and city to send their letters to. We went an extra step and chose a school in their towns, in hopes of raising our chances with receiving a letter in return. This project is a great way to learn about our community, as well as others. It also gives us a chance to compare and contrast communities in the U.S.A. Through this project, we were able to learn about communities, letter writing, and geography. The kids really loved looking at and reading maps! We can't wait to see who will reply!
