Main Idea/Details, Verbs, and Halloween

Phew!  What a week!

We started talking about verbs by making our own anchor chart.




We also put sentences together and circled the nouns in those sentences.

Our story in Journeys was called Super Storms.  It was a very engaging story and it definitely kept the kids' attention.  They just LOVE non-fiction.  Our comprehension skill was main ideas/details.  We put these in our notebooks.

By the end of 2nd grade, the students should be able to write a topic sentence, detail, explanation, and concluding sentence.  They have a difficult time differentiating between the details and the explanations.  This is something we will continue to work on weekly.

Here are some photos of our Halloween festivities on Thursday:
