Writing Prompt

Normally watching the weather forecast and seeing rain and snow for the next three days, in mid-April, would make me so sad. (I have a lot of skirts that I have been waiting to wear!) But, I am secretly excited about it for this upcoming week. My kiddos will become "guinea pigs" for a new writing assessment that our district would like us to give. Our second grade kiddos will write a research report based on whole group and individual readings of non-fiction material. The subject...arctic animals. Do you see now why I need it to snow? It will set the ambiance. The assessment we will give our kiddos does not have many "must do" guidelines so my teammate and I have made additional activities to use to help our kiddos. You can get these in my Arctic Animals Literacy and Math Pack in my TPT store. Click on the picture below.
