Jennifer,
I like the newspaper idea you used. My only suggestion would be to outline more definitely for students the purpose for writing in a journal. I like your first response assignment and the literary model you selected. Nice work!
Hello there fellow blogger! I love your new invitation! It is very creative and definitely will appeal to the kids. Give yourself a little more room between the lines so all of your words/letters will show. I love the pictures you chose to go with it! Other than that, perfect!

I like this journal invitation so much better than the last one. You may want to take a few minutes and brainstorm some things about newspapers, especially with second graders. Are you going to share some entries? The dinosaur invite would be good with a few changes.
HI Jen!
I love your journal invitation. It is an attention grabber! Our second graders love Junie B. so they will love to use her journal for ideas to write in their own journals. I can’t wait to read what they write.
Jennifer,
I love your TORNADO poem. You really captured the essential aspects of tornados. The picture you put behind it is perfect. This would be a great assignment that would integrate technology, science and language arts! Way to go!! Above Standard!
I really like your poems. I love your tornado poem. My second graders loved the tornado unit that we did each year. Any student would certainly be inspired by your poem!
I think you did an excellent jod conveying facts and information about tornadoes in I am a Tornado. I used your poem as an example for my students when we began I POEMs. THANKS for your help!
I absolutely love the found poem created with the girls artwork. What a sweet idea!
And…I don’t care what anybody says…your thermometer is cute…and correlates with our second grade math and science curriculum.
Nice Work!
Sonia
