I finished up my first week back with new little 2nd graders! They are all so cute & tiny right now, still firsties 🙂
My school started Monday, so I had a complete week of non-acamedic time to fill, but I don’t play that way so I snuck some in! They were antsy for it!
We read some cute stories and I wanted to share an idea with you. There are a few of my kids who can’t read all that well {if at all..} and this activity worked for them. After we read “Frog and Toad: Down the Hill”, I had my kids make cute little Frog/Toad puppets, some may or may not have looked like frogs…
I then had them act out the story with their partners, one was Frog the other was Toad. Some just read right out of the book to quote Frog and Toad, too cute. They loved it so much!
For the one’s who couldn’t read something scripted, they used their own words to describe the story from what they remember.
I hope your first week of school was as successful, wonderful, and not as exhausting as mine 🙂 {even without enough desks :/}
