Character Unit

Character Unit

My 2nd graders are in the midst of our dynamic characters unit. Students are learning how to analyze characters over a series.  At my school 2nd graders have 20ish minutes of uninterrupted reading time each day. I always to make sure students are understanding what they are reading.  I have created some fun ways to check understanding.


My students and I are currently obsessed with these flip books. Writing seems to be more fun when writing on astro brights.  It usually takes my students about a week to completely finish a flip book. 


My students love the “character bunting”. This is also great for  ESL students who are relying on pictures to show understanding.
