This week our focus in literacy was reading about and describing how everyday items change over time. We began our week with an Antique Road Show show and tell. Second graders brought in an artifact from the past to share with us. It was so fun and entertaining to see the different objects. We did a few each day! To further introduce the week, I showed a quick slide show on how video games have changed and then had to students interact with some actual artifacts. It was so fun to watch them look at the controllers and game cartridges. The second graders put their skills to practice in a variety of ways throughout the week. In small groups we read books about how different items have changed. We created a visual together in the groups, and discussed how some things have stayed the same. In a large group I modeled how to read, highlight, and record the improvements made over time. The next day students read an article and filled in a graphic organizer with a partner. The final project of the week was for the second graders to self select a book and fill out the graphic organizer on their own. Next week they will be creating a digital artifact of their learning...look for it on Seesaw!
