Adjectives in Action

Second graders in Allie Santos' classroom learn how to add details to their writing. The focus was to describe an animal's body parts using appropriate adjectives and interesting facts. Art was integrated into this activity as students drew a winter scene for their animal on a snow globe.

Take a peek at their writing.

I especially like the transition words in this piece.

 Notice the compound sentence!

I like how students were able to add adjectives to their facts to make the writing more interesting. 

Great job second graders!
