There is more than a handful of students who are excited to spend their entire recess in the art room working on bigger and bigger latch hooking projects (I swear they'll be making entire rugs soon...). I miiight need to post a new project for back-up canvas soon because they're going to use it all up!\r\n\r\nFor real, this level of momentum and excitement from students is not possible without access to these materials.

They immediately started planning their designs. Some students wanted to have a design that incorporated the names of everyone in our class, but that was impractical. Another wanted the shirts to say: \"I Survived Second Grade\" because he is a big fan of the \"I Survived\" book series. But then a student created a design that said simply: \"We are a team\" and everyone loved it. I was surprised that they wanted something so straightforward, but it's a testimony to their hard work at becoming a team this year that it's what they wanted on their shirts.\r\n\r\nWe then voted on what design should go with the word, \"We are a team.\" A bear because it's our school mascot and a heart were the top two vote getters. When I looked at designs I found something perfect: A bear and a heart and room for the text we decided on.\r\n\r\nThe last week of school I brough the printed out designs in gold and students watched as I used my heat press to put it on their black shirts. When it was cool they got to peel off the plastic and see the design. It was a magical moment! Students immediately wanted to put their shirts on. Their shirts will be a lasting reminder of how important it is to work as a team.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting this project and making the team shirts possible for my students! Thank you also for the beading supplies. Students had so much fun the last week of school making bracelets and necklaces for themselves, friends and family members.

We talked about giving strong reasons to support our opinions which include details, comparisons and adjectives. \r\n\r\nAttached are pictures of some of the opinion pieces my second grade students published at the end of the unit.

They think about how cute the stretchy sloths are compared to how cool the slime is and check to see if they have enough money for both.

It makes me happy that our team store gives them the ability to be generous and express their affection for family members.\r\n\r\nThroughout the week students can earn points as a team by putting away their work, coming to their spots on the carpet or lining up at voice level 0. Students can also earn points by translating for others in the class, doing extra cleaning tasks or doing a good job in our Specials: Music, PE, Library and Art. All year we have been working on teamwork and having these prizes as incentives makes it all the more fun for my students. \r\n\r\nI also asked for bubble guns which I bring out to recess to celebrate when we reach goals as a team.
