This week we began our non-fiction writing unit. We began our week by reading the book Kate and Pippin. This is the true story about an unusual friendship between a deer(Pippin) and a dog (Kate-a Great Dane). We heard the story and discussed what we were wondering about the story. The second graders work in partners to come up with questions about the story. Then, second graders wrote a shared report on the book. Second graders also heard an interview with the author of the book. Later in the week we read How to Be a Friend: a Guide to Making Friends and Keeping Them. Second graders discussed in pairs tips on how to be a good friend. Our class is now working to create our own classroom guide to being a good friend. We also had a discussion and compared and contrasted the two stories we read this week.
