2s are LOVING our Wonder Wall! Ss can choose to research our wonders during Independent Reading or when they’re fast finishers. Learning about using credible sources, reading for meaning, and occasionally fact-checking 🙃✌🏻 #FDElearns

2s start every day w/ Morning Journals, exploring art + our ideas about it as storytellers w/ no expectation except that your pencil is moving (even if it’s just a “think spot” 🙃). Today, all 22 wrote STORIES for ten minutes and begged for more time + feedback! 🎉 #FDElearns

These math goals from my brand new baby 2s are making my teacher heart BURST, you guys 💛 Already owning that mentality of resilience + practicing self-awareness and we’re just getting started ✌🏻 #FDElearns

2s planted ten trees this morning to help protect Hamilton Run as part of their MWEE project! So grateful for this community of learners and the opportunity to effect real change ✌🏻🌎 @chesapeakebay @FountaindaleES #FDElearns

2s applied what we’ve learned about the production process to an authentic task w/ help from some amazing parent volunteers! Creating items for 5th grade’s raffle fundraiser benefitting Ukrainian refugees 🇺🇦✨ #FDElearns

2s are taking their first #GeniusHour projects by storm! This kiddo connected with an “Outside Expert” today from @Univ_System_MD to learn more about black holes. So proud of these growing researchers! #FDElearns

[Erica Kozlowski @ericakoz]

What a wonderful week with @chesapeakebay! I learned so much about how to engage Ss in environmental literacy and can't wait to dig in with my littles in just a few short weeks! #FDElearns

Two of my girls fell in love with an author this year so they wrote an email and asked me to send it to her. They received her response today and were over the moon! @ARScattergood thank you for inspiring these readers! They have big plans for a “Destiny” book club this summer 💛

@DrSurvinski @geniushour @mcnairan3 @gallit_z @mrsdkrebs This is a great idea @DrSurvinski ! Thanks!

Hey Twitterverse! My second graders are working on their #GeniusHour projects and one of my kiddos needs to connect with an anthropologist as an "outside expert" as she researches prehistoric humans. Help? @geniushour @mcnairan3 @gallit_z @mrsdkrebs

This book, you guys. Our last read aloud of the year, and we loved it so much we DEVOURED it in just a couple of weeks. 10/10 recommend ✨ #FDElearns

[Erica Kozlowski @ericakoz]

Trying something new to wrap this year- Buddy Book Clubs! Ss shopped my multi-copy texts and created their own book clubs. They meet every day and the only expectation is that they share one reaction to the text. I could share 1649291 reasons it’s amazing but I’m out of roo— 🙃✌🏻

Started a new routine! Each Friday, we pause and reflect on what we are most proud of. Then, we stick it on the board! By June each kid will have a stack of work that made them feel proud and that’s a pretty good way to end this crazy year 😊 #FDElearns

[Erica Kozlowski @ericakoz]

Hey second grade writers! I see you! 🔥 #FDElearns #socialemotionallearning

[Erica Kozlowski @ericakoz]

2s were busy today bringing their plant habitat research to life, exploring how artists make choices to communicate their ideas! Sharing and comparing to learn from each other next week 👍🏻 #FDElearns #artsintegration

[Erica Kozlowski @ericakoz]

Distance learning is HARD but these babies are giving me LIFE today! 2s celebrating that YES, we can do hard things 💛🙌 #FDElearns

One America. Two completely different experiences.

"I remembered if my mom does it my brain won't grow so I did it by myself" 🙌🙌 From the mouths of BABES, you guys. The kids are going to be alright 💛 #distancelearningwins #FDElearns
