Reading – Inferring
Making inferences can be a tricky concept to teach, but students will love this inferencing center! In the WHOSE SHOES? Center, students will make inferences about the person wearing the shoes, based on clues from the text. The answer key is great in both print and digital versions!
Writing – Opinion Writing
2nd graders have opinions – LOTS of opinions! Help them “get the scoop” on opinion writing with this delightful center. Students will build their opinions piece by piece until they have completed a whole “sundae” of opinions. At the completion of the center, students will have written an entire paragraph. Now that’s a sweet celebration!
