In order to encourage vocabulary development, the Longleaf 2nd grade teachers planned a vocabulary parade! Each of the six classes were given a suggested word list for the students to choose a word from for their study. The students were given a “Costume Design Planning Sheet” to assist them at home during the development of their costume design. During the planning stage the students learned the definition of the word, learned how to use the word in a sentence, and also sketched their costume ideas. The students proudly marched the parade route showing off their word to Longleaf students and families. After the parade, the students gathered with the other classes for a “meet and greet” to teach their friends about their words, as well as show off their costumes and learn from others.
Wow! I think this parade will become a new Longleaf tradition!
Good Job, Second Grade!
