EPIC day with Heos

Bridget Heos has a TON of books on EPIC, this would be a great time to read one together and then have students pick some read individually on their devices.  My understanding is that all the iPads should have EPIC.

FYI--You will want to make sure they look up Bridget Heos and not just Heos to get her books.
Also-only two of them are read out loud, so you may not need headphones.

Animal Adaptions

Just an extra lesson that goes with the books Animals Just like Us!

Pet Project

This could be in lieu of the animal adaptations or instead of.  This is an easier assignment and this series on EPIC is easier to read.

2nd Grade Series

Why promote Series?

  • Promote good literature
  • Facilitate the transition between picture books and chapter books
  • Because kids LOVE series books!

To-Do

Day 1  
            Prep: Review ppt, watch video, pull relevant series books
            Series What is a Series ppt
         In the final video you have a who selection of good 2nd grade books to promote.  Just watch the ones that correspond to books YOU have in the library at your school!
            Video will likely take up most of the time, but you might want 5 mins at the end to have students browse series books.

Day 2  Series
(in order or not) ppt
