Second Grade News
By Marla Weber, E-M 2nd
grade instructor
Second
graders at Exeter-Milligan truly look forward to Monthly Book Club! This
book club is just like that of their parents who attend a book club.
Participants meet to discuss a book that they have read
and express their opinions, likes, dislikes, etc. These second
graders are provided with a book and read it during their free time or at home.
This month's selection was Anna,
Grandpa, and the Big Storm by
Margot Tomes. On the day of book club, students grabbed their lunch from the
cafeteria and headed back to the classroom for the fun to begin. Student
volunteers acted as moderators for their small group. The moderator kept the
conversation going by asking group members to tell about some of their favorite
parts, etc. They discussed the dangerous conditions of the blizzard of 1888 and
how it affected residents of New York City. Most times book club ends with an
activity or a quick video related to the story. This month, students viewed the
impact the blizzard of 1888 made here in Nebraska by watching a brief
video.
Also
this semester, each second grade student gets a chance to take a few minutes to
share a story with an assigned high school junior. Having just read Anna, Grandpa, and the Big Storm, the students decided to share
this same selection with their Buddy Reader. Buddy Readers plan to meet monthly
with the second grade to listen to them share another story.
