Tara and Tiree - Coping with Emergencies

This week students enjoyed a story about two dogs rescuing their owner from drowning in a frozen lake.  They enjoyed learning about rescue dogs and other service animals. We also read our health chapter, entitled Staying Safe. Students discussed ways to stay safe and respond to emergencies. Second graders are beginning to learn how to study new information. We practice with the short nonfiction article, Rescue Dogs. Students read it silently, participated in reading it orally, made a graphic organizer with material from the story and then shared information with their learning group.
