We had a great week in 2nd grade! We spent the week reviewing author's purpose and types of sentences, and also spent a lot of time finishing up our social studies unit on communities. The kids worked together in groups to design their own community. There were many creative communities including Villain World, Puppy Town, and Spy World--an urban community filled with "spy" scrapers and even a spy academy. I was pretty impressed with what they came up with:)
