My Project

Second graders love to express themselves through drawing. However, we are starting to write paragraphs, so they are learning who to translate those emotions from drawing to writing. This will include them focusing on Black History Inventors.

In order to accomplish these goals they will need poster boards to draw on, folders to keep their colorful loose leaf drafts in, blank books to sketch their emotions and free write and draw until their final draft, note pads to work with others in groups and brainstorm their ideas, and pencils to write with.
