Second graders have been on an exciting literary adventure! They have been reading an all-time kids’ favorite, Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. In this heartwarming tale, young Stanley Lambchop finds himself flattened by a falling bulletin board, allowing him to go on extraordinary adventures. Each week, students read the book in small groups, developing their reading skills and summarizing the most captivating moments of each chapter. Structured writing and paragraph writing are important parts of our second grade writing curriculum. These paragraphs include a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and an interesting concluding sentence at the end. Adventures with Stanley will continue as the second graders prepare to send Stanley away. Come visit our classrooms in the near future to see all the amazing places he has visited.
