RCE 2nd Grade - Informational Writing - Publishing Party! Second grade classrooms were transformed into a zoo this afternoon at Ray Crowe Elementary. These second graders had to study the animals of their choice, choose a habitat and research the animals appearance, diet and life span. As with any good story they had to come up with a good introduction and a strong conclusion. The recipients of all the research and writing were first grade students who got to enter each habitat and have one of the authors read to them. Habitats included the Arctic, The Savannah, The Ocean and an Aviary. While the work is a lot of fun it's also creating strong writers and readers at the same time.

Community service was a HUGE leaf raking job! Lots of hard work today by our amazing CPA students! Simon Youth Foundation
