The 2nd graders have had some fun with writing lately! In response to a festive book we read, Moosletoe, the 2nd graders were asked to reflect on a time that everything wasn't going "perfectly perfect" and how they fixed it. In Moosletoe, the main character was so caught up on having everything be "perfectly perfect" for Christmas, that he wound up forgetting to get a tree! He made the problem better by improvising and allowing his family to decorate himself as the tree.
We also read a book called, "The New and Improved Santa." In this story, Santa takes a New Year's resolution maybe just a bit too far. He ends up being unrecognizable to children. The 2nd graders got to come up with their own new version of Santa and write about why he ended up being that way. We sure do have some creative minds in 2nd grade! So impressive!
