Titanic Report of Information

Our second graders are publishing their Information Reports as we wrap up Lucy Calkins Unit of Study for Lab Reports and Science Books.  Connor wrote his report about the Titanic, a subject he is PASSIONATE about.


 Because his report is so interesting, I e-mailed Robert Ballard.  What a wonderful surprise to get the mail today and find a letter and autographed picture addressed to Connor!

 


If you'd like to see Connor's entire 14 page report, please click the link below.


We couldn't be more proud of the work our students are doing as we implement the new Units of Study in second grade this year!

What a great report! And what a great teacher that would take the time to write a letter!

I LOVE this!!! Giving the students the tools and knowledge to be able to craft a piece of writing about a topic they are passionate about is life changing! And then to go the extra mile to reach out to the famous scientist...way to go! I encourage everyone to take the time to click and read the student work. It's delightful!
