This year, I had my 2nd graders do some work to encourage their 3rd grade friends. I told them it was a secret project and explained a bit about the test the third graders were going to be taking. Then when parent volunteers were at school, they took 2nd graders into the hall and worked on the "Secret" project. My 2nd graders were loving getting to have more info. than the 3rd graders:-)
First each 2nd grader picked a 3rd grader and made them a water bottle label.
Then in a big group, they all made a giant poster....it will be so useful in covering up some of our not-allowed anchor charts:-)
Love that they tried to make both Duck and Beaver fans happy in their color choice. |
Happy Sunday,
That's so sweet.

This is an AMAZING idea! We have worked with our 3rd graders all year trying to get them involved in "secret service" activities. I think this is a great idea to have them to for their fellow classmates and grade level-mates. Thanks for the inspiration :)
