Brave Irene Student Samples- You Want This Lesson!

How are your students in analytical writing? How about reading a story and actually understanding the author's purpose and story elements? I couldn't help but share these second grade Brave Irene samples. Yes, second grade. I am just blown away at how far the students are coming each year at our school. Common vocabulary, assured experiences, and commitment to the bigger picture has really pushed us further than I think any of our teachers expected.

Fun art connection using pastels :)

I absolutely love walking through our halls and seeing all of the writing hanging up! This is such a difference over the last three years as we have transitioned into using EW k-8. And I love all of the fun art connections that are done to help keep our students engaged and proud of the work they have up for display.
