In second grade we continue our discussion of collections and our journey about those who LOVE collecting words. Two fantastic picture books that feature word gatherers allow us to compare the stories and discuss how authors can write different stories using the same ideas. We start with Max's Words by Kate Banks, followed by The Boy Who Loved Words by Roni Shotter. We are also working on our own Word Jars inspired by Donavan's Word Jar. Students cut words they know and want to learn from magazines and fill their jars. Each week several students present their completed jars to the class by describing their favorite word in the jar. We are enjoying learning many new words together!
