March-April Reader's Workshop

                      March-April Reader's Workshop



Second Grade Super Sleuths

This month in reader's workshop the second grade is reading mystery books. Teacher's will launch this unit by first creating a classroom mystery that the students need to solve. The classes will pay close attention to the clues they find along the way.


The mystery unit will begin with classes reading a mystery book together. Once they find out what the mystery is, the class will track each scene that led to a new clue. Students also will track the suspects by paying close attention to the suspicious behaviors of the secondary characters in the book. The student's goal in this unit is to solve the mystery before the detective.

Here are the two books we will read in class together: 


Next, students will be reading mystery books in partnerships. All second graders will have their own Detective's Folder with mystery vocabulary and their own mystery tracking sheet that they will use to follow the mystery as their reading their books. Our Second Grade Sleuth's are very eager to solve all of their crimes!
