This week, we started working on our very first round of Centers in 2nd Grade. This year we will be using Center activities at the end of a unit as an opportunity for students to demonstrate how well they have met our goals. Because of the time of year, our Centers will be focused on the theme of Día de los Reyes Magos (3 Kings Day), which is an important holiday celebrated in Spain on January 6th.
There are a total of three or four Center activities for students to complete, depending on which class they are in. One involves demonstrating understanding by reading a letter that a child in Spain has written to the 3 Kings. Students will use their reading comprehension strategies to identify information and answer questions. The second activity involves communicating with someone by asking and answering questions. And in the third Center students will use the vocabulary we've learned to write their own pretend letter to the 3 Kings. All three activities are focused on the goals of our Identity Unit:
The kids have been working hard on their Center activities so far and I am excited to see their finished products!
